About the Author

Lewis Wallace, born in Indiana in 1827, was an American lawyer, general in the American Civil War, governor, politician, diplomat and author. Before his death in 1905 he wrote numerous novels and biographies, but is most famous for his second novel, ‘Ben-Hur’ (1880), a bestseller that is often referred to as the ‘most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century’.

Reading Group Guide

One of the most popular American novels of all time, General Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur vividly reimagines the mighty Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity. The saga of Judah Ben-Hur’s spiritual journey from slavery to vengeance to redemption is both a vivid historical adventure and a powerful story of one man’s religious awakening. As Blake Allmendinger writes in his Introduction to this Modern Library Paperback Classic, “Ben-Hur has endured for more than one hundred years because it offers something for everyone. The story of the Jewish hero Ben-Hur, his conflict with the Roman warrior Messala, and his conversion to Christianity at the foot of the Cross, combines adventure, sentimentality, athletic spectacle, and religious devotion.”
