Charles Monroe Sheldon

    26 februari 1857 – 24 februari 1946

    Charles Monroe Sheldon was een Amerikaanse predikant en een vooraanstaand figuur in de Sociale Evangeliebeweging. Zijn invloedrijke roman introduceerde het leidende principe 'Wat zou Jezus doen?', waarmee hij een unieke benadering van de christelijke theologie verwoordde. Deze filosofie werd populair aan het begin van de 20e eeuw en beleefde bijna een eeuw later een significante heropleving, wat de blijvende impact ervan aantoont.
