[Ashley Bacon · Rating 2 out of 5]

This read very much like a textbook and while interesting, I'm not sure how much I'll retain as textbook writing isn't my vibe.

[Roy Bartle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very adequate and clear but nothing special. Slightly downplays the general equity of the judicial law and dismisses Biblical slavery and patriarchy without Scriptural reinforcement.

[Jonathan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Alright as far as it goes, but did not answer any questions I brought to it. Perhaps a good introductory ethics book if you've never read any other theological works dealing with Christian life and practice. Not worth it for me.

Douma writes and is translated by Kloosterman in a very readable manner. While not agreeing with all of his starting points and not always being able to tell where he stood on concrete fundamental positions, he still challenged me. I learned quite a bit from this book.

A great introduction to Reformed ethics.
