In His Steps: A Social Gospel Novel of Christian Discipleship, Moral Awakening, and What Would Jesus Do? - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Charles M. Sheldon's In His Steps (1896) is a seminal work of Christian social fiction, organized around the searching question, "What would Jesus do?" Set in the fictional town of Raymond, it follows Rev. Henry Maxwell and his congregation as they attempt to live for a year under that principle. Its plain, sermon-inflected realism and episodic structure place it firmly within the late nineteenth-century Social Gospel movement. Sheldon, a Congregational minister in Topeka, Kansas, wrote from pastoral experience rather than abstract theology. His ministry brought him into contact with poverty, labor unrest, temperance reform, and urban inequality, concerns that shaped the novel's moral imagination. Originally delivered as a series of Sunday evening "sermon stories," the book reflects his conviction that Christianity must transform public conduct as well as private belief. This book is recommended to readers interested in American religious history, reform literature, and the ethical power of narrative. Though its tone is earnest and unmistakably didactic, In His Steps remains compelling as a cultural document and a challenge to comfortable faith, asking how belief might alter business, journalism, art, and civic life.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In His Steps is a seminal work in Christian literature that invites readers to explore the profound implications of living a life devoted to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Written in a didactic style, the novel presents a compelling narrative through the lens of ordinary characters who grapple with the question, 'What Would Jesus Do ' (WWJD). Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Sheldon skillfully weaves a tapestry of moral dilemmas and social issues, engaging with themes of faith, sacrifice, and the transformational power of genuine compassion. This thought-provoking story challenges readers to reflect on their own values and actions, urging them to pursue a life that embodies the principles of Christ's teachings in a pragmatic and impactful way. Charles M. Sheldon, an influential pastor and social reformer, wrote In His Steps while advocating for a more active and practical form of faith. His experiences in the Salvation Army and his passionate commitment to social justice undoubtedly influenced the moral framework of this work. Sheldon sought not only to inspire spiritual reflection among believers but also to encourage community engagement and accountability in addressing societal needs. In His Steps remains a timeless recommendation for readers looking to reignite their faith and engage with fundamental ethical questions. Its profound insights into Christian living continue to resonate in contemporary discussions, making it an essential read for those who seek to navigate their beliefs in a complex world. This book serves as a compelling invitation to readers to take a closer look at their own life choices and their commitment to living faithfully. N° de réf. du vendeur 9788028359614
