Customer Reviews

Good, but confusing.

This book is a nice resource book for ethics. However, when you are finished reading it you may wonder what positions are the correct, Biblical positions. It seems that opposing arguments can both be rationalized as Biblical. It will, however, provoke much thought and reflection (and possibly confusion).
