The Cornerstone: A Dramatic Novel About Jesus Christ

By John C. Schneidervin

Jesus was not a man of his time. He did not fit in. He was the proverbial square peg that did not fit into the round hole. He was new wine that could not be put into old wineskins, a new patch of cloth that could not be used on an old garment, lest it tear the old to pieces. Never did a man speak as he spoke. For he spoke, not like the Pharisees and experts in the law, but as one having divine insight and authority. He was at odds with his own family, his Jewish chief priests and spiritual leaders, his Jewish countrymen, and in the end with the Roman authorities. Conflict was a part of his life beginning with King Herod the Great's attempt to kill him when he was but an infant to the Jews' crucifying him when he was about thirty-five years of age. He came to his own, but his own did not receive him.
This dramatic novel reveals what Jesus himself saw, experienced, thought, and felt throughout the events, conflicts, and trials of his three-year ministry, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension. In the process it reveals what was the ruling passion and purpose of his life on earth. You, the reader, then, are able to see, experience, empathize, and sympathize with Jesus and his life's purpose as never before.
