A Story That Changed the World

Follow Judah Ben-Hur, a wealthy Jewish prince in ancient Jerusalem, whose life is shattered when his childhood friend Messala betrays him to the Romans. Torn from his family and condemned to slavery in the galleys, Judah survives through sheer determination and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance.

But his journey leads him to something far greater than revenge.

The Same Epic Story, Crystal Clear

This modern English edition preserves Wallace's original plot, characters, and powerful themes while replacing a lot of the archaic language with clear, contemporary prose. Every scene that made Ben-Hur a phenomenon -- from the opening journey across the desert to the crucifixion of Christ -- remains intact and more engaging than ever.

Perfect for readers who want to experience this timeless classic without struggling through Victorian-era language, this edition brings new life to a story of faith, forgiveness, and the power of redemption.

Discover why Ben-Hur has inspired readers, eight film adaptations, and countless hearts for over 140 years.
