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
