Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880) by Lew Wallace is one of the most popular and beloved 19th century American novels. First published by Harper & Brothers on November 12, 1880, and it is considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century".
The story recounts in descriptive detail the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince from Jerusalem who is enslaved by the Romans at the beginning of the 1st century and becomes a charioteer and a Christian.
Running in parallel with Judah's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, from the same region and around the same age.
The novel reflects themes of betrayal, conviction, and redemption, with a revenge plot that leads to a story of love and compassion...
Is not his the law, Eye for eye, hand for hand, foot for foot? Oh, in all these years I have dreamed of vengeance, and prayed and provided for it, and gathered patience from the growing of my store, thinking and promising, as the Lord liveth, it will one day buy me punishment of the wrong-doers?
Lewis "Lew" Wallace was a lawyer, governor, Union general in the American Civil War, American statesman, and author.
