First published in 1880, Ben-Hur is a historical novel set in the time of Jesus Christ. It follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince betrayed by his Roman friend Messala, leading to years of slavery and hardship. The novel intertwines themes of vengeance, redemption, and faith, as Judah seeks justice and later encounters the teachings of Christ. The book’s vivid depiction of Roman and Jewish life, combined with intense action scenes-such as the famous chariot race-has made Ben-Hur one of the most popular novels of its time. Its Christian themes and dramatic storytelling contributed to its lasting legacy, including its numerous film adaptations.
