Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ben-Hur" is a classic historical novel by Lew Wallace that tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who is falsely accused of treason and sent into slavery by his childhood friend, Messala. The novel begins with the story of the Three Wise Men, who see a bright star shining over the region and follow it through the desert toward the province of Judaea. Meanwhile, Mary and Joseph pass through the Joppa Gate in Jerusalem on their way to Bethlehem, where Jesus is born in a cave on a nearby hillside. The shepherds and the magi both come to worship the newborn Christ, and Herod the Great becomes fearful of the potential threat to his rule. As the story progresses, Ben-Hur's path intersects with that of Jesus, who becomes a central figure in the novel's themes of forgiveness, compassion, and faith. The novel climaxes with the famous chariot race between Ben-Hur and Messala, but who will win this? What will the story conclude? "Ben-Hur" is a sweeping epic that seamlessly weaves together historical events and fictional characters, creating a rich tapestry of storytelling that has captivated readers for over a century.

Download or read book The Robe written by Lloyd C. Douglas and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Robe was the author's most successful book, going through multiple printings and remaining in the number one slot on the New York Times best seller list for almost a year. It was made into a film in which Richard Burton was the lead actor and which was nominated for a number of Academy awards. The book is a fictional telling of the story of the aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus through the experiences of the Roman tribune Marcellus Gallio, who carried out the crucifixion, and his Greek slave Demetrius. Gallio wins the Robe through a toss of the dice and it comes to have an impact on his thinking and his life. Lloyd C. Douglas was an American minister and author born in Indiana in 1877. He was married and had two children. He did not write his first novel until the age of 50 but was considered to be one of the most popular writers of his time. His works usually had a moral and religious tone. Two of his best known works were The Robe and The Big Fisherman, which were made into major motion pictures. The Robe, written in 1942, sold over two million copies in hardcover alone. It held the number one position on the New York Times Best Seller list for over a year and remained on the list for an additional two years. The film version of The Robe hit the screen in 1953 and starred Richard Burton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incisive insights into contemporary pop culture and its apocalyptic bent The world is going to hell. So begins this book, pointing to the prevalence of apocalypse — cataclysmic destruction and nightmarish end-of-the-world scenarios — in contemporary entertainment. In How to Survive the Apocalypse Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson examine a number of popular stories — from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in The Walking Dead — and argue that such apocalyptic stories reveal a lot about us here and now, about how we conceive of our life together, including some of our deepest tensions and anxieties. Besides analyzing the dsytopian shift in popular culture, Joustra and Wilkinson also suggest how Christians can live faithfully and with integrity in such a cultural context.

Download or read book Miklós Rózsa's Ben-Hur written by Roger Hickman and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1925, MGM produced a screen version of Lew Wallace's best-selling novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, which became a classic of silent cinema. Nearly 25 years later, the biblical epic was remade by William Wyler and received an unprecedented 11 Academy Awards, including one for Miklós Rózsa's music. Indeed, the score for Ben-Hur is one of the greatest achievements in Hollywood film music. In this book, Roger Hickman focuses on the confluence of traditions, trends, and innovations that shaped Rózsa's score. Hickman provides an overview of Rózsa's music into the 1960s, looks at the composer's musical influences and the development of his distinctive style, and examines how Rózsa applied these compositional techniques to film scoring. The author then explores the Ben-Hur phenomenon and traces the development of the story and its musical traditions from the original novel into the 21st century. Hickman also examines the conventions of epic films and ties these influences together with a detailed analysis of the score. Miklós Rózsa's Ben-Hur pays tribute to not only one of the great film scores but also to one of Hollywood's most influential composers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on one of the timeless story of one of the best-selling books of the nineteenth century, this stage adaptation condenses the epic tale so that it can be told by just four actors (or it can be expanded for a cast of up to twenty-six). The story follows an amateur theatre troupe as they produce the massive tale of the fictional Jewish prince and merchant Judah Ben-Hur. He falls to galley slave and rises to champion charioteer within Jerusalem during the life of Jesus Christ, while the actors struggle along through the piece as rivalries form and offstage romances interfere. Complete with chariot race, sea battle, and stage combat, Patrick Barlow weaves his compressed style popularized by The 39 Steps into one of the largest stories ever told.
