Five Miracle Plays: Or Scriptural Dramas is a collection of five plays written by John Payne Collier in 1836. Each play is based on a different story from the Bible and is written in a dramatic form. The plays included in this collection are The Sacrifice of Isaac, Jacob's Ladder, The Deluge, The Fall of Lucifer, and The Death of Abel. The Sacrifice of Isaac is based on the biblical story of Abraham being tested by God to sacrifice his son Isaac. Jacob's Ladder is based on the story of Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching to heaven. The Deluge is based on the story of Noah's Ark and the great flood. The Fall of Lucifer is based on the story of Lucifer's rebellion against God and his eventual fall from grace. The Death of Abel is based on the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain kills his brother Abel out of jealousy. Collier's plays are written in a poetic and lyrical style, with a focus on the moral lessons that can be learned from each story. The plays are meant to be performed on stage, with elaborate costumes and sets. Overall, Five Miracle Plays: Or Scriptural Dramas is a unique and interesting collection of plays that bring biblical stories to life in a dramatic and engaging way.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
