Aspects of Christian Integrity
By Alan P.F. Sell
Integrity means both honesty and wholeness. Alan Sell examines this concept by posing some searching questions: Is Christian thought an intruder in secular education? How are crucial Christian doctrines to be held together? On what grounds should churches address ethical issues? Does Christian disunity deny the gospel? Is Christian mission justifiable in a pluralistic world? How can local churches become better centers of pastoral integrity? Sell addresses each of these important issues in separate chapters of this scholarly yet readable book.
Author - Alan P.F. Sell
"I know of no other work comparable to this in any way. What Sell says is important. The topics of each chapter are significant for the church and for theological inquiry.... Sell has tried to show that these several topics may be approached through the rubric of 'integrity' (honesty, wholeness) and conversely 'to examine what honesty and wholeness do and might mean in relation to Christian faith and practice'...His work holds a unique place."
Donald K. McKim, editor, Westminster John Knox Press, and ordained Presbyterian minister
