"Roads to the City of God: A World Outlook From Jerusalem" explores the transformative vision of global Christianity following the landmark 1928 meeting of the International Missionary Council in Jerusalem. Written by noted author Basil Mathews, this work captures a pivotal moment in religious history where delegates from around the globe gathered to address the pressing spiritual and social challenges of the early twentieth century. Mathews details the shift from a Western-centric missionary model to a truly worldwide fellowship, emphasizing the shared responsibility of the global church in tackling issues such as race relations, economic justice, and industrialization. The book provides a vivid account of the discussions held on the Mount of Olives, framing them as essential paths toward a more unified and compassionate "City of God."
Rich in historical insight and spiritual conviction, "Roads to the City of God: A World Outlook From Jerusalem" serves as both a record of an influential ecumenical gathering and a call to action for a world seeking moral clarity and international cooperation. It remains a significant text for understanding the evolution of modern missions and the development of a global Christian perspective on human rights and social welfare.
