It resonates with the theological inquiries and cultural lore surrounding one of the most significant figures in human history.nnPyle, renowned for his contributions to literature as an illustrator and storyteller, particularly within the realms of children's and adventure books, takes a detour with 'Rejected of Men' to delve into the religious and philosophical.

The work reflects Pyle's own intellectual journey and his ability to address profound spiritual questions through a narrative that is both accessible and thought-provoking.nn'Rejected of Men' is recommended for readers who seek a novel approach to theological storytelling.
