Author - William R. Hogg

"In Ecumenical Foundations Dr. Hogg has given us the de¹nitive history of the origin and the ¹rst three decades of the International Missionary Council. Here is also a highly important contribution to our knowledge of missionary cooperation of signi¹cant phases of the early stages and development of the Ecumenical Movement.”
—Kenneth Scott, Latourette of Yale University

"This book appears at an opportune, one might say, a providential, moment. It focuses attention on the history and signi¹cance of the most creative international organization of these last revolutionary decades. It also provides answers to many questions, and clari¹es many concepts which perplex intelligent Christians in all the churches. It is impossible to understand the background, genius, and problems of the Ecumenical Movement without recourse to this pioneer attempt to chart its course.”
—John A. Mackay, of Princeton Theological Seminary

"Dr. Hogg has done a magni¹cent piece of work and has provided an historical record of great importance. It is the indispensable volume for understanding one of the main streams of Christian unity. There is no other place where one can get so good a picture of the way in which the missionary movement has led to the present stage in teh ecumenical movement.”
—Samuel McCrea Cavert, General Secretary, National Council of the Churches of Christ
