Rejected of Men: A Story of To-day
About This Book
A retelling of the life and ministry of Jesus from the viewpoint of the scribes, Pharisees, priests, and Romans, recast into a contemporary American setting. It presents their rationale for resisting and ultimately condemning the radical teacher, arguing that preservation of social and religious order compelled harsh measures. Narrative chapters reinterpret familiar gospel incidents—public challenges, healings, betrayals, trials, and execution—while interludes offer theological and philosophical reflections on belief, authority, and the nature of truth. The work emphasizes institutional fear of social upheaval, conflicting loyalties among leaders, and the tragic consequences of choosing order over an unsettling moral message.
