<p>Corporate scandals are only the latest reminder of the importance of ethics. Responsible Conduct offers the first English translation of a standard, introductory-level volume on this subject that has served Christians in the Netherlands for over twenty-five years. Every system of ethical reflection lies embedded within a worldview, writes Douma. I owe my own worldview to the light shining from the Bible. 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, ' I confess with Psalm 119:105. Therefore, ethics is for me Christian ethics, reflection upon moral conduct in light of the perspective offered us in Holy Scripture.</p>

Common grace has generally been thought of as a doctrine developed and promoted by Abraham Kuyper. However, John Calvin also discussed the concept in some detail. In the 1930s Klaas Schilder began writing about the doctrine and was quite critical of various aspects of Kuyper's views. In his seminal dissertation, originally published in 1966, Jochem Douma first presents the ideas of Kuyper, Schilder, and Calvin, respectively, and then proceeds to compare and evaluate them. He has objections to some features of Kuyper's doctrine, but also to some elements of Schilder's critique. Ultimately he prefers the more nuanced views of Calvin. Included in this edition is a paper, first appended in 1974 to the second impression, in which Douma responds to criticisms levied at his dissertation. The English translation also contains a preface by the author in which, some fifty years after his study was first published, he expresses reservations about certain aspects of his original work.
