Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Reverend Charles Sheldon (1857-1946) was an American minister in the Congregational churches and leader of the Social Gospel movement. He is a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover (1879). He became an advocate of the late nineteenth century school of thought known as Christian Socialism. In the 1880s Sheldon developed a series of sermons that he preached from the pulpit of the Congregational church in Topeka, Kansas. The theme of the sermons was later fictionalised into the novel In His Steps. Sheldon s theological motif reflected his socialist outlook, and it helped to inspire the theologian Walter Rauschenbusch who is generally credited with creating the Social Gospel. In 1900 he became editor for a week of the Topeka Daily Capital applying the What Would Jesus Do? concept. Amongst his other works are: Richard Bruce; or, Life That Now is (1892), His Brother s Keeper; or, Christian Stewardship (1895), Robert Hardy s Seven Days: A Dream and its Consequences (1899), John King s Question Class (1899), The Crucifixion of Philip Strong (1899), The Miracle at Markham: How Twelve Churches Became One (1899), The Heart of the World (1905) and The High Calling (1911).

    BEYOND THEOLOGY “What“What WouldWould JesusJesus Do?“Do?“ Host: Have you ever heard the question “What Would Jesus Do?” Do you know where it came from? How does it apply to the world in which we live today? Stay with us and you’ll find out. Host (Following title sequence): “What would Jesus Do?” is a question that pops up frequently in American culture. You might hear it in a movie or see it on a t-shirt. You sometimes see it in its abbreviated form – four simple letters … WWJD. It’s been popular among young Christians, who’ve displayed it as an expression of faith and relied upon it as a way to approach life. Although it may be not as popular as it was 20 or 25 years ago, it’s still around and it still gives people something to think about. Young people often begin to think more seriously about matters of ethics and morality as they gain more independence. At Harvard University, students have been outspoken in their demands for a meaningful education, prompting the university to develop a curriculum that includes moral reasoning. Rev. Peter Gomes (Memorial Church, Harvard University): In our desire to be even- handed and not evangelistic in any sense any more, we raise all the great issues of the day, but we don’t presume to preach to people -- the university doesn't presume to preach to people -- to say this is a view better than that or this is what you should do as opposed to that, do this and don’t do that.

  • A Pamphlet Put out by the Topeka
    A pamphlet put out by the Topeka Commercial Club just before WWI lauds the capital as a “thriving, progressive, prosperous city, where life is worth the effort and where human endeavor is abundantly rewarded.” The city’s successes were hard on certain of its residents, however, and their needs became the focus of the ministries of two of Topeka’s early residents—Charles Monroe Sheldon and Charles Fox Parham. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 32 (Summer 2009): 106–23 106 KANSAS HISTORY CH ARLES M. SH ELDON AND CH ARLES F. PAR H A M Adapting Christianity to the Challenges of the American West by Alan F. Bearman and Jennifer L. Mills he annals of American religious history are filled with energetic, creative, and seemingly larger than life characters. These figures were shaped not only by their individual dispositions and creeds, but also by the places where they proselytized. Geography, then, plays an important role in understanding American Christianity in the twentieth century.1 Two of America’s most important contributions to the history of Christianity—the Social Gospel and Pentecostalism—have significant ties to Topeka through the work of two of its early residents, Charles Monroe Sheldon and TCharles Fox Parham. Yet, the Kansas roots of these manifestations of Christianity remain largely unknown. Specialists in American religious history know that Pentecostalism did not begin in Los Angeles on Azusa Street in 1906, but at Stone’s Mansion (or Stone’s Folly) in Topeka, Kansas, on New Year’s Day 1901. Likewise, they know that the minister of Topeka’s Central Congregational Church, Charles M.

    Issue 66: How the West was Really Won How the West Was Really Won: Did You Know? What a famous painting reveals about America's move west. Did You Know? As North and South clashed in the Civil War, Americans saw hope in one direction: West. This mural study was commissioned during the Civil War for the House Wing of the U. S. Capitol to reflect the country's optimism. (The mural itself, modified slightly from the original, was finished a year later.) The painter, Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze, described his intention: "To represent as near and truthfully as the artist was able the grand peaceful conquest of the great West." A sense of God's providential will—America's "manifest destiny"—infuses the painting. In his notes, Leutze described the emigrants catching their first view of the "'promised land' … having passed the troubles of the plains, 'The valley of darkness' &c." Of the woman near the center of the composition, he wrote that she "has folded her hands thanking for escape from dangers past (religious feeling indicated)." The western "conquest" Leutze noted was not always peaceful, which is hinted in the painting's top border, where Indians flee the descending eagle. An official, though incomplete, Army compilation shows 1,065 engagements between U. S. troops (and occasionally civilians) and Native Americans between 1866 and 1891. The struggling wagon toward the back of the picture is a more accurate depiction of westward travel than the jubilant faces toward the top. The most challenging of early overland routes, the Oregon Trail, covered 2,000 miles of barren plain and steep mountains and required 150 to 180 days to traverse.

  • Critical Junctures in American Evangelicalism: II the Transition from Postmillennialism to Premillennialism by Randall Balmer
    Ashland Theological Journal 2006 Critical Junctures in American Evangelicalism: II The Transition from Postmillennialism to Premillennialism By Randall Balmer Charles Finney's theological revolution had repercussions for evangelicals I far beyond the arcane arena of soteriology, the doctrine of salvation. At least as I popularly understood, Finney's Arminianism assured Americans that they I controlled their own religious destiny, that they could initiate the process of salvation simply by exercise of volition. Finney's declaration that revival was "the work of man" led to a codification and a routinization of evangelism. Beginning with Finney and extending to B. W. Gorham's Camp Meeting Manual and to Billy Graham and various revivalists of the twentieth century, the enterprise of revival became formulaic, almost mechanistic. As long as you followed certain conventions, Finney and others promised, revival would ensue. The social implications of Finney's ideas were even more profound. If individuals controlled their ultimate destinies, surely it didn't require much of a leap to suppose that their actions here on earth could affect the temporal realm as well. And the aggregate actions of believers could bring about monumental changes in society. Aside from the individual empowerment implicit in Arminian soteriology, another theological discipline figured into antebellum evangelicalism: postmillennialism. Throughout church history, generations of theologians have puzzled over the prophetic passages of the Bible, from Isaiah and Ezekiel and Daniel in the Hebrew Bible to Revelation and 2 Thessalonians in the New Testament. Jesus himself suggested some sort of apocalyptic development within a generation, and the book of Revelation contains all manner of images and events that should or should not be interpreted literally and should or should not be understood as prophetic.

  • Surrogate Scriptures: American Christian Bestsellers and the Bible, 1850-1900
    Surrogate Scriptures: American Christian Bestsellers and the Bible, 1850-1900 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Thomas Acker Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jared Gardner, Advisor Dr. Elizabeth Hewitt Dr. Hannibal Hamlin Copyrighted by John Thomas Acker 2017 Abstract This dissertation examines four bestselling Christian novels published in the United States between 1850 and 1900: Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) by Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Gates Ajar (1868) by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Ben-Hur (1880) by Lew Wallace, and In His Steps (1896) by Charles Sheldon. These four books reached millions of readers in a time when many Christians refused to read novels at all, helping to launch what is today a $4B Christian merchandise industry. More importantly, amid what Nathan Hatch has called the “democratization of American Christianity,” popular Christian novels offered a measure of cultural unity, despite splintering churches and increasing skepticism. To explain these novels’ literary popularity and religious impact, I approach them as what I call “surrogate Scriptures.” Just as surrogates are both representatives and substitutes, in a sense these novels can both replace the Bible and point readers back to it. All four novels confirm the Bible’s centrality and authority in Christian theology and practice, but they also showcase changing attitudes toward reading, understanding, interpreting, and applying Biblical content. The four novelists I study here stake out very ii different positions on these issues, but they all contribute to a vibrant and fascinating Christian literary culture.

  • God at Work: the History and Promise of the Faith at Work Movement by David W
    God at Work: The History and Promise of the Faith at Work Movement by David W. Miller Oxford University Press, 2007. 222 pages Reviewed by David W. Gill www.davidwgill.org David Miller spent 16 years as an executive in the USA and England with IBM, State Street, and HSBC. He earned a PhD in ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary and taught at Yale for five years before coming to his current position as professor and director of the Faith & Work Initiative at Princeton University. He is also the co-founder (1999) and director of the Avodah Institute (www.AvodahInstitute.com). “Avodah,” he likes to point out, is a Hebrew word that means “work,” “worship,” and “service” --- a rich overlapping brew that is embraced by pretty much everyone in the faith at work movement. Miller divides the history into three phases. First is the era of the Protestant Social Gospel and Catholic social encyclicals that more-or-less ended with the two great World Wars. The second era was roughly 1946 to 1985 when the “ministry of the laity” was ascendant. Third, since the mid-1980s we have seen a huge and exponentially growing proliferation of faith at work and marketplace ministry movements, publications, and programs. Miller points out that the faith at work movement has developed mostly outside of and parallel to the churches and only recently has that begun to change. In Miller’s narrative you will encounter Walter Rauschenbusch, the YMCA, Charles Sheldon, Bruce Barton, the Gideons, Frank Buchman and Moral Rearmament, the Christian Business Men’s Committee (founded 1930 in Chicago), R.

It argues that these diverse expressions of Christian faith-fuelled abundance can be understood as a movement, for they stem from a cohesive set of shared understandings. First, the movement centered on Faith. It conceived of faith as an “activator,” a power given to believers that bound and loosed spiritual forces and turned the spoken word into reality. Second and third respectively, the movement depicted faith as palpably demonstrated in wealth and health. It could be measured in both in the wallet—one’s personal wealth—and in the body—one’s personal health—making material reality the measure of the success of immaterial faith.
