The Lawrence Arms - The Greatest Story Ever Told

The Greatest Story Ever Told is the fourth studio album by The Lawrence Arms, originally released in 2003. A concept album of sorts, it follows a linear storyline and has several songs which call back to or refer to others. The album includes extensive liner notes with footnotes to the lyrics that detail the many literary and pop culture references. Its title is a direct reference to the movie The Greatest Story Ever Told, a 1965 film about the life of Jesus.
