Called "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century," Ben-
Hur A Tale of the Christ was a best-seller in the 1880s, eclipsing the sales
of Uncle Tom's Cabin and, later, Gone With the Wind to become the best-selling
American novel of all time. The story recounts the adventures of Judah Ben-
Hur, a fictional Jewish prince from Jerusalem, who is enslaved by the Romans
at the beginning of the 1st century and becomes a charioteer and a Christian.
Parallel with Judah's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, who comes
from the same region and is a similar age. The novel reflects themes of
betrayal, conviction, and redemption, with a revenge plot that leads to a
story of love and compassion.
