Produktbeschreibung
Eloquent, persuasive, this superb collection of essays is an impressive plea from the missionary spirit which has carried Christianity into every sphere of activity all over the world. What is the frontier? There are several, the author contends. On the political frontier, it is the Church’s duty to sensitize the conscience of a nation, to insure equal rights and privileges for all.
