Rejected of Men

Description

J. Conyers Gilderman lives a life of gilded ease, surrounded by the sophistication and skepticism of turn-of-the-century New York. But his comfortable reality is shattered when a mysterious figure begins to draw the masses, performing miracles and preaching a radical message that echoes the ancient Gospels. As this “Story of To-day” unfolds, Gilderman finds himself cast in the role of the young man with great possessions, standing at a crossroads between his social standing and a truth that threatens to upend the world.

In this provocative and deeply contemplative novel, Howard Pyle strips away the distance of history to bring the story of the Messiah into the heart of the modern age. By reimagining the Passion amidst the high-society parties and political maneuverings of his own time, Pyle delivers a powerful “living” narrative that challenges the reader’s own conscience. It is a stirring exploration of faith, doubt, and the enduring question: if the Light entered our world today, would we have the courage to follow it?

Rejected of Men is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle’s legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
