The Moslem World publication described itself as being a "A Christian quarterly review of current events, literature and thought among Mohammedans." One of its editors, Miller, is among other things, a missionary, an ordained minister, and the author of such books as Islam-A Challenge to Faith, and Mohammed or Christ. Of ten associate editors, five bear the title of "Reverend," a sixth having the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

The author of this article, himself a missionary, explains at the outset why it has written. He says, "There are a number of centers in America where Bahais (sic) have been conducting meetings and working for their cause for a number of years, and it sometimes happens that people who come in touch with them wish to know more about the movement." After recommending a study of our literature he says that the editors of The Moslem World have requested the writing of this article "to meet the need of those who wish to consider the movement Issfrom a different point of view."
