- "This volume has been written in connection with the Oxford Conference on Church, Community and State. It is plain that the relation of the church to the community and to the state can be profitably considered only in the light of two fundamental questions. The first is the nature of the church. The second is the functions of the church in relation to society. .... Six other volumes in connection with the Oxford Conference are in preparation and will be published, it is hoped, in the autumn of the present year". -- Preface, p. v.
