За авторот
Charles Monroe Sheldon (1857–1946) was an American minister in the Congregational churches and a leader of the Social Gospel movement. His writings focused on transformative Christianity, advocating for a life that followed the example of Christ in social and personal actions. Sheldon is best known for his novel 'In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?' which introduced the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" to popular culture. 'The Redemption of Freetown', while less known, embodies similar themes of moral challenge and Christian ethics. Sheldon's literary style is didactic, often using narratives to expound on his belief that Christianity should be a vital force in addressing social injustices and that individual actions can lead to societal change. His works emphasized the need for a practical application of Christian ideals in the everyday lives of people and can be seen as precursors to the modern Christian fiction genre. Sheldon's books were not just moral exhortations; they were crafted as engaging stories that illustrated the potential for religious faith to enact positive change both personally and communally. Throughout his career, he sought to inspire others to consider their own personal responsibility in making the world a better place through the lens of their faith.
