He had been stimulated to think out his own religious convictions to answer the century's famed atheist, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll. It took him seven years to write the novel. When three-quarters of the book was finished, he was recalled to New Mexico. Wallace worked on Ben-Hur in the governor's mansion at Santa Fe, an old building with grime-covered walls, rain-stained...
