Maior best seller do século XIX, sua linguagem é, para o gosto mais moderno, demasiado floreada. Frases como "Ó Leitor" e "Thou shalt not" lhe dão uma sensação arcaica. O autor parece ter-se inspirado em Shakespeare e Scott,, entre outras fontes. O meio se arrasta por causa do excesso de diálogos. No lado positivo, o Livro Primeiro é um excelente relato dos eventos que levaram à chegada dos Magos do Oriente. Mas sem dúvida os filmes (com Ramon Novarro e Charlton Heston, respectivamente) e suas corridas de quádrigas emocionam mais quem quer que aprecie literatura cristã.… (plus d'informations)

It's more fun to watch the chariot race in both 1925 and 1959 film adaptations than it is to read about in Wallace's original novel. The book also suffers for lack of a proper confrontation with Messala and has none of the iconic dialogue that makes the 1959 version sparkle. While very readable, what's here is indulgent and spends more time scene-setting than developing characters. I also find it strange why something so overtly religious and dependent on the miraculous would omit any mention of the resurrection. Overrated, in my opinion. The (mentioned) films commit their own sins but largely improve on the material.… (plus d'informations)

Falsamente acusado de intentar asesinar al gobernador romano, Judá Ben- Hur es traicionado por su amigo de la infancia Mesala y es sentenciado a las galeras como esclavo. Judá jura vengarse en contra de los romanos y su antiguo amigo, pero un fortuito encuentro con un carpintero de Nazaret lo hace emprender un camino diferente.
