Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ

This is a saga of a reverent journey by Judah Ben-Hur through reprisal, torment, affliction, and devout illumination to the revelation of Christianity. Ben-Hur grew up in a Roman-occupied Palestine as a wealthy young Jew whose family is respected of the citizenry but whose friend, Massala, a Roman warrior, betrays him by treacherously accusing him of the attempted murder of a Roman Prince. Suddenly the whole family is separated and punished: Ben-Hur is sent away as a slave and his mother and sister are imprisoned in a leper colony. His conflict with an imperious government, adventurous political spectacles, maudlin dramatics and heroic theatre vividly strips his blindness to bureautic control and awakens an enlightenment of monumental proportions. His suffering leads him to the vision of Jesus and acceptance of Him. At last, Ben-Hur must challenge Massala's domination in a chariot race. On the day of the Crucifixtion the quest for peace and the recovery of unity is complete, and Ben-Hur's search is over. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year.
