The 1942 book was always intended to be a religious discourse. The entire middle section is more a retelling of the gospels than an actual story, though it has a pretty structured narrative that make sense, when it's not busy being anti-semitic. The book is good in parts, but dishonest overall.
The 1953 movie, on the other hand, has historical inaccuracies (and not in a good way like in 300) & a narrative that is seriously flawed. Logic has been sacrificed for dramatic effect. Avoidable.
