Ben Hur Prelude: The Unclean by ric Gustafson
The ancient world feared one disease more than any other. This disease was leprosy. Anybody caught with this disease was driven out of the city with stones. Leviticus 13 talked about how priests determined who had this disease and who did not. A person considered unclean had to wear torn clothes and had to yell ' unclean unclean' if approached. An unclean person had to live somewhere else away from the main camp. To the ancient world, leprosy was a death sentence. It was to everyone except Jesus of Nazareth. He loved everyone including lepers equally.
