Theophilus- The Musical is the sequel to the hugely successful Risen! -The Musical www.risenthemusical.com which culminates with Jesus ascending to heaven. Now, in Theophilus- The Musical, Gospel writer Luke is reunited with his patron, Theophilus to continue the story; describing how the Gospel has spread far and wide. Theophilus is projected into the dramatic events of the acts of the apostles, undertaking a journey of faith- challenged by such issues as how God is good even though life is often bad, the difference between happiness and joy and how one can receive forgiveness and salvation.
