It is to set out the main elements of the case for the Christian world mission, and to show some of the principal tasks which are bound up with that mission. The book owes everything to the Jerusalem meeting of the International Missionary Council, and could not have been written without it, but it is not directly concerned with that meeting. It seeks, rather, to draw attention to some of the principles which must be accepted and to some of the necessities which must be met if the generous enthusiasms stirred up by the Jerusalem meeting are to bear fruit&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I have drawn heavily upon the ample resources of the complete Report of the Jerusalem meeting, and hope that to some readers this book may serve as an incentive to explore the wealth of material contained there. <strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/pdf\/e-books\/paton_william\/faith-for-the-world_paton.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue Reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William Paton [1886-1943] sets out the argument for world mission.
