Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace, first published in 1880, is a classic historical Christian novel set during the time of Jesus. The story follows Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince in Jerusalem who is betrayed by his Roman friend Messala, resulting in his wrongful condemnation to life as a galley slave.
