Excerpt from The Population Explosion and Christian Responsibility<br><br>Every author is indebted to the work and help of others, and I am more indebted than most. Indeed, if I were to list my debts, I would hardly know where to begin; those to whom I am most in debted already know my gratitude. I must mention, however, my special obligation to my colleagues in the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs, both for their encouragement and for their willingness to shoulder an extra load that this report might be prepared. It need hardly-be added that I take personal responsibility for the views here expressed, and that these views in no way commit either the or its parent bodies, the World Council of Churches and the International Missionary Council.<br><br>I must also express appreciation for the competent help rendered by the staff of the Oxford University Press.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
