About this title

Synopsis

"This is a small book, and we have been unable to procure it. Orme only mentions it upon the authority of [Robert] Watt's Bibliotheca. It is certain to be good, for Durham is always admirable." -- Charles Spurgeon, Commenting and Commentaries

The great admirer of Puritan commentaries was correct on all counts. James Durham's Lectures on the Book of Job was published from a manuscript in 1759, one hundred years after his death, in what must be one of the rarest Puritan commentaries to obtain in an original edition.

About the Authors

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.
