We've been reading the book "In His Steps" together for the last few weeks. It was written by Charles Sheldon, a man whose book is often associated with the social gospel movement. While some historians struggle over the significance of this work, it's pretty plain how it fits this movement.
I invited patrons of the show to listen early and then discuss their thoughts on this controversial book.
What did you think about the audiobook? Should I record other books this same way?
Discussion Questions:
- Did you enjoy "In His Steps"? Why or why not?
- How do you think women were portrayed in "In His Steps"?
- What do you think about the Home Economics movement?
- How did you see the social gospel in the book?
- Is the book evangelistic? At which points? If not, why not?
- Does Christian media need to be "heavy handed"?
Recommended Resources:
- In His Steps by Charles Sheldon
- The Secret History of Home Economics
