About this listen
A classic of faith, fortitude, and inspiration, this faithful New Testament tale combines the events of the life of Jesus with grand historical spectacle in the exciting story of Judah of the House of Hur, a man who finds extraordinary redemption for himself and his family.
Judah Ben-Hur lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem at the beginning of the first century. His old friend, Messala, arrives as commanding officer of the Roman legions. They become bitter enemies. Because of an unfortunate accident, Ben-Hur is sent as a slave in the mines, while his family is sent to leprosy caves. As Messala is dying from being crushed in a chariot race, he reveals where Ben-Hur's family is. On the road to find them, Ben-Hur meets the Christ as he is on the road to Golgotha to be crucified. That day changes Ben-Hur's life forever, for that is the day he becomes a believer.

Incredible historical fiction!
Wonderfully narrated, this gem of a book is such an insight into life in the time of Jesus. Romans warring against Jews, unrest, great injustices and incredible mercy. %100 reccommend!

Nineteenth century melodrama - give it a miss
I was curious it read the book because I loved the movie as a kid but I just couldn't get through it. It is verbose, preachy and the characters are two dimensional.
