For your consideration is a Rare First Edition of "Ben Hur A Tale Of The Christ" by Lewis "Lew" Wallace, 1880, Harper & Brothers publishers. Lewis "Lew" Wallace (1827-1905) was an American Union general as well as author. Ben-Hur is considered by many to be "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century". "Lew Wallace said that he wrote Ben-Hur as a way to sort out his own beliefs about God and Christ. In doing so he inspired many readers by combining romanticism and spiritual piety common in sentimental novels of the 19th century with the action and adventure found in the more popular stories of the day. It prompted many clergy to reverse their church's long-held opposition to novels and actually encourage their congregations to read Ben-Hur, as a result helping it to become one of the best selling novels of its time.", Oxford World Classics.
