- "[By] Paul Avis".
- Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-141) and index.
- "Adrian Hastings saw the main theme of Archbishop Runcie's primacy as the search for an appropriate Anglican style of authority. Avis himself wrote in 1986. 'Dissatisfaction with the Church of England centres on the question of authority'. The lust for infallible authorities seems to grow rather than be outgrown. And it is not only in Anglicanism, or the churches in general, that authority questions are of vital contemporary importance". -- Foreword.
- In this book "I attempt to set up a dialogue between biblical and theological views of authority, on the one hand, and what the social sciences and management studies can teach us on the other. .... In this book I am wrestling with the three specific themes of liberating authority, therapeutic leadership and constructive conflict". -- Preface.
