  <abstract>“Simon Robinson has written an extraordinary, interdisciplinary exploration that applies the concept of integrity to leadership, organizations, pastoral care, prophecy, peacebuilding, and worship and mission. Strikingly original, deeply informed, this book, if heeded, has the capacity to revive the Church as she seeks to serve God in this complex world. A major contribution to the literature of practical theology and ethics.” -- Ian S. Markham, Virginia Theological Seminary and The General Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology and Ethics. This book presents a philosophical and theological analysis of the concept of integrity. Using case studies, it offers a view of integrity which is focused in: identity (individual and corporate); responsibility (for critical reflection on identity and related ideas and feelings associated with worth, mutual and plural accountability, and shared responsibility for creating and creation); ongoing learning (individual and corporate). Simon Robinson brings together Aristotelian and existentialist perspectives, agapeic theology, and wider leadership and governance theory, and in doing so connects ecclesiology, Christian Ethics, pastoral theology, church leadership and governance. Robinson focuses on praxis, reflection on how the Christian church engages its members and the world, and how it can learn and develop peacebuilding. Critical to this the development of genuine dialogue, individual and shared narrative building, and the corporate framework of virtues and virtue development, which connects individual and corporate agency. Simon Robinson is Professor Emeritus of Applied and Professional Ethics at Leeds Beckett University, and Honorary Research Fellow of Theology at the University of Leeds, UK. .</abstract>
