Summary "Rejected of Men: A Story of To-day" by Howard Pyle is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative re-examines the biblical story of the crucifixion from the perspective of the scribes, Pharisees, priests, and Romans, offering a unique viewpoint that challenges contemporary interpretations of those events. The characters are depicted in a modern American context, aiming to provide insights into their motivations and the societal pressures they faced. At the start of the book, Pyle sets the stage by introducing the viewpoint of the clerical leaders in ancient Jerusalem, grappling with John the Baptist's growing influence and questioning the legitimacy of his prophetic role. The opening delves into their anxieties as they witness the crowds flock to hear John's sermons and the potential impact on their authority. The tension is palpable as they ponder their responsibility in confronting this popular preacher and the implications of the messages he brings, leading to a profound reflection on how circumstances shape human behavior and societal roles.
