- "Edited by John M. Mangum".
- "Three observations about this [contemporary] situation are so obviously true that they should be of high priority in forming the churches' life. Tragically they seldom result in action. One is that today's churches have no other place to fulfill their mission than a world whose basic assumptions are pervaded more and more by science. The second is that the churches urgently need to develop strategies to communicate the gospel contextually. Society is so permeated by scientific viewpoints that when these viewpoints are not taken seriously by the churches their message is either dismissed or compartmentalized as irrelevant to serious contemporary living. The third is that the world is flailing about in a sea of technological developments that cannot be controlled without adequate ethical guidance from the churches". -- Preface, p. vi.
