Lectures on the Book of Job

More about the book

English Puritanism and Scottish Presbyterianism in the seventeenth century had many bright and shining lights. Of these, James Durham (1622-1658) ranks alongside the greatest for his theological depth, for his faithful preaching, and particularly for his moderate spirit at a time of great controversy. Durham's brief ministry was spent for the most part preaching in the Inner Kirk of Glasgow Cathedral. He came to excel in 'case divinity' or 'cases of conscience, ' and it was thought that he poured so much of himself into his preparations that it brought about his early death. -- from book insert
