Summary note

The biblical dramas of Sixt Birck show the ways and purposes by which Biblical texts were transformed into theater after the Protestant Reformation. Birck's dramatic works also dealt with issues of public life and the institutions in a Respublica christiana. For the first time, this study looks at an extensive selection of Sixt Birck's dramas through the prism of political strategies.
