"Ben-Hur: A tale of the Christ" by Lew Wallace is a novel published in 1880. It follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince from Jerusalem who is falsely accused of attempted assassination and enslaved by the Romans. As he endures brutal servitude and later becomes a charioteer, his path repeatedly crosses with Jesus Christ. The story weaves themes of betrayal, revenge, and redemption, ultimately transforming from a tale of vengeance into one of love, compassion, and forgiveness.

The prose is dense in places but rewarding. Glad it was available as a proper ebook.
