Lectures On The Book Of Job
Description
"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.
