About this book

An unforgettable account of betrayal, revenge, redemption, Ben-Hur tells the tale of a nobleman who fell from Roman favor & 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 as Ben-hur vows revenge. Running in parallel with Ben-Hur's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, who comes from the same region & is a similar age, mirroring themes of betrayal, conviction & redemption. Ben-Hur witnesses & is inspired by the rise of the Christ figure & his following who challenge Roman tyranny & talk of keys to a greater kingdom.
