description: Excerpt from The Population Explosion and Christian ResponsibilityProtestant consensus on responsible parenthood is in process of becoming, and does not lend itself as yet to fortissimo treatment. The other reason is that I prefer to let the facts, which seem to me thoroughly convincing, speak for themselves rather than stress my own percussion. My concern is less to preach my own convictions than to offer the reader the various data by which he can convince himself, for no one else can do it as well.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.I must also express appreciation for the competent help rendered by the staff of the Oxford University Press.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
