 JOLLYBLOGGER: In His Steps - Charles Sheldon and the Social Gospel
Yet, what many don't realize is that this book, which is so beloved by many, had a worldview and an agenda behind it that was not friendly to historic orthodox Christianity.
So this is why I am calling attention to Sheldon and "In His Steps." It seems to me that, throughout the 20th century, the book was treated as a benign influence at minimum and salutary one at best.
Yet, there is an agenda in the book that bore fruit when it was written and is bearing fruit today as there is a great shift from a focus on Christ as redeemer to Christ as example.
