James Durham (1622–1658) served as minister at Black Friars Church in Glasgow as a chaplain to King Charles II and as a minister at the Inner Kirk of the cathedral in Glasgow. Known for his piety, wisdom, and scholarship, Durham stands as one of the great Scottish Presbyterians of the seventeenth century.
Matthew Vogan lives in Inverness, Scotland, with his wife, Janet, and son, Joseph. He is a ruling elder in the Inverness congregation of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland and author of various articles for a number of periodicals. He works in local government as a project manager.
While we may make excuses for false doctrine or turn a blind eye to it, Jesus actually rebukes, hates, and severely punishes the tolerance of error in His church (Rev. 2:14–16). In The Scandal of False Teaching, James Durham uncovers the danger of false teaching and the ways that it takes root within the church. He then proceeds with the care and precision of a skilled surgeon, helping us identify the seriousness of an error and understand what means are best to use against it. He also counsels ministers as well as lay church members in their respective responsibilities of maintaining the truth. Now presented in modern English, Durham’s classic treatment on doctrinal error can be used to edify a new generation.
