		Set, as the title suggests, during the period of Christ's life, the novel opens with the quest of the Wise Men and concludes with the Crucifixion.

	Ben Hur
		Original Review: Miklós Rózsa's score for Ben Hur is widely regarded as one of the best that came out of Hollywood's Golden Era during the thirties, forties and fifties.
		'The Galley' is a wonderfully rhythmic piece played on what I think is a double bass, underscoring a menacing brass theme that gets progressively quicker, which is played when Judah Ben Hur is a prisoner on the warship of Quintas Arrius.
		The second and third tracks, 'Of Bethlehem' and 'Adoration of the Magic' are also good cues: they both make great use of a female choir to accentuate the power and majesty accompanying the birth of Christ.

		On this voyage, he was immensely impressed by one young man among the exhausted, emaciated slaves.

	Ben-Hur: Collector's Edition (1959)
		On the other hand, the 1925 Hur gets away with some graphic content not found in the 1959 version, especially during the sea battle.
		It’s one thing to know that Lucas and Scott borrowed from Hur, but it’s another to here them chat about it.
		Again, I thought it was fun to see the silent film and it makes a great addition to this set, but I wouldn’t want to watch it twice.
