Autorenporträt
Charles Thomas Studd, commonly referred to as C. T. Studd, was a British missionary, preacher, and author whose contributions to Christian literature stem from his profound religious experiences and zealous missionary work. Born into a wealthy English family on December 2, 1860, Studd's early life was marked by privilege and prowess in sports, notably cricket, before experiencing a spiritual awakening that dramatically redirected his life's path. After his conversion under the preaching of D. L. Moody during the 1880s, Studd dedicated his life to Christian mission. His commitment to evangelism led him to serve in China with the Cambridge Seven, a group of missionaries affiliated with the China Inland Mission, founded by Hudson Taylor. Studd's evangelistic fervor later took him to India and eventually to the heart of Africa. Studd's literary contribution, although not voluminous, includes the passionately written tract 'The Chocolate Soldier,' which mirrors his outspoken advocacy for a Christianity that is active and militant, rather than passive and comfortable. In this tract, Studd challenges readers to consider the cost of discipleship and the necessity of risk-taking for the sake of the gospel. The metaphor of a 'chocolate soldier,' one who melts away in the heat of battle, stands as a poignant rebuke to lukewarm Christianity (Studd, C. T., 'The Chocolate Soldier'). His writing is characterized by its directness, fervor, and the underlying urgency for Christian believers to fully commit to their faith's demands. Studd's life and literary legacy continue to inspire Christian missionaries and laypersons alike, with his call to 'carry the glorious gospel of the blessed God' to the ends of the earth.
