Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ is a novel by Lew Wallace published for the first time in 1880. Lew Wallace (1827–1905) was an American lawyer, Union general in the American Civil War, territorial governor and statesman, politician, and author. Considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century", it was the best-selling American novel from the time of its publication, superseding Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). Following release of the 1959 MGM film adaptation of Ben-Hur, which was seen by tens of millions and won 11 Academy Awards in 1960, book sales surpassed Gone with the Wind. The story recounts the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem in the 1st century. Judah's childhood friend Messala returns home as an ambitious commanding officer of the Roman legions. During a military parade, a tile falls from the roof of Judah's house and barely misses the Roman governor. Although Messala knows that they are not guilty, he condemns the Ben-Hur family. Judah is sent to the Roman galleys for life; his mother and sister are imprisoned and all the family property is confiscated. [more]

Många människor förtränger frågan om evigheten. Till och med hos dem som funderar över sin egen död märker vi detta fenomen. Den amerikanska skådespelerskan Drew Barrymoore spelade som barn en huvudroll i fantasyfilmen ”E.T.- the Extra Terrestrial”. Drew som föddes 1975 sa vid 28 års ålder: ”Skulle jag dö före min katt, så ge henne min aska att äta. Då lever jag åtminstone vidare i min katt”. Personligen tycker jag att detta är både aningslöst och förfärligt!På Jesu tid sökte sig många människor till Honom. De flesta kom med sina jordiska bekymmer:• 10 spetälska som ville bli friska (Lukas 17:12-13),• Blinda som ville kunna se (Matteus 9:27),• Några som ville ha hjälp vid en arvstvist (Lukas 12:13-14),• Fariséer som kom med en kuggfråga, om det var rätt att betala skatt till kejsaren eller inte (Matteus 22:17)....
