Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

This classic tale stands as one of the most notable achievements in American writing. The tale of Judah Ben-Hur’s conversion to Christianity, his life runs parallel and even intersects with Christ’s in many spots. Illustrating both the spiritual promises of the kingdom to come, as well as the human want for revenge, this heroic novel has captivated thousands.

An unforgettable account of betrayal, revenge, redemption, Ben-Hur tells the tale of a nobleman who fell from Roman favor and was sentenced to live as a slave—all at the hands of his childhood friend, Messala. Once nearly brothers, any hope of reconciliation is dashed after Messala is seriously injured during a vicious chariot race won by the vindictive Ben-Hur.
