Publisher's Summary:
"Ben-Hur" is a historical novel by Lew Wallace, a story of a hero named Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish nobleman who was falsely accused of an attempted assassination and enslaved by the Romans. Judah first encounters Jesus, who offers him a drink of water and encouragement, as Judah is being marched to a galley to be a slave. Their lives continue to intersect as the story unfolds.
Judah survives his ordeal as a galley slave, after befriending and saving the commander of his ship, who later adopts him. Judah goes on to become a trained soldier and charioteer. Judah returns home to Jerusalem to seek revenge and redemption for his family (they perished in a Roman jail). After witnessing the Crucifixion, Judah recognizes that Christ's life stands for a goal quite different from revenge. Judah becomes Christian, inspired by love and the talk of keys to a kingdom greater than any on Earth.

A masterpiece of a movie about the life time of Judah Ben-Hur and a tale of The Christ.
Many years ago when I first saw this epic on the big, BIG screen I fell in love with the story. Juda Ben-Hur live a parallel life of that of Jesus... It is a story that felt I may have shared so long ago.... It is a story of hope and love and of a story that could have been true. General Wallace wrote this
A epic story of the life of Judah Ben-Hur and and a parallel lifetime of Jesus. How General Lou Wallace came up with this tale after the long and terrible Civil War. I can only wonder where did he ever get the material for the epic adventure. The famous Chariot race still holdsl one of the longest action scenes in a movie to this day... Eight minutes of non stop action and all without the modern special effects. This movie gives you a little understanding of what Judea could have been like at the same time of Jesus... Watch and enjoy this adventure with family or friends and come away understanding the process of turning a masterful book into of of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time. This story is never outdated even if it is from 1959. They really knew how to make movies in those days. It truly is a story of joy, love and hope and faith in a new world about to be born.
A well-done adaptation of the abridged classic by Gen. Wallace!
The classic story is told in about two hours' time. My personal hope was to receive an unabridged reading of Gen. Wallace's book, but the voices are clear and the dramatic adaptation continues to present a sound theology. There was a description on the CD of this being *one* of the best-selling books of its day, however, and that needs to be clarified. During the time of the U.S. Civil War, Stowe's book _Uncle Tom's Cabin_ was the best-seller for years after the war ended in 1865...until this was published in 1880. It retained its position as THE best-selling book for over half a century until 1936 when Margaret Mitchell hit the world with her famous book. _Ben Hur_ has been considered as the most influential Christian book of the 19th century and its story will endure for many centuries to come.
Good if you already know the story!
I love the dramatized reading of this story, and had read the original Ben Hur story several decades ago. However, the audio recording would not have made good sense to me at several points if I didn't already know the story.
