The intention of the first edition was to suggest a fresh approach to the South India problem, but subsequent ecumenical conversations at home, particularly between Anglicans on one hand and Presbyterians and Methodists on the other, make this discussion of episcopacy especially relevant in its main biblical, historical and doctrinal outlines to the present debate." -- From the front panel blurb.
