Review (PDF) How I Came To Write Ben-Hur
There are a lot of urban legends about how why General Lew Wallace wrote his religious epic novel Ben-Hur. The fact is, he was not an atheist setting out to prove Christianity wrong. He did not write Ben-Hur on a bet. The truth is this: after a conversation on the train with noted agnostic Robert Ingersoll, Wallace was prompted to explore the religion he had always vaguely believed in.In this ebook, the words of Lew Wallace himself, excerpted from his autobiography, explain how and why he wrote Ben-Hur.
