Since 1905, the Baptist World Alliance has served as a prophetic witness for Jesus Christ on behalf of the global Baptist family. At its World Congress, General Council, and Executive Committee meetings, over four hundred resolutions and statements have been adopted, expressing God's love, compassion, and justice. The BWA has the support of 241 member bodies located in 126 countries and territories, representing 47 million people. Good News for the World is an encyclopedic reference work presenting the BWA's resolutions in one volume for the first time.

The range of critical issues covered by this collection is comprehensive, and many of the resolutions speak to contemporary concerns with multicultural wisdom, spiritual integrity, and intellectual depth. Readers seeking to discover how Baptists on a global scale and across time have addressed the human condition in its various dimensions (moral, social, economic, political, and religious), will be inspired by these declarations.

This volume is an indispensable resource for the global Baptist movement and its scholars, historians, leaders, and clergy.
