James Durham

James Durham was a Scottish minister and theologian of the seventeenth century, writing from a confessional Reformed standpoint with deep pastoral seriousness.

He is especially known for careful, reverent exposition, and for bringing doctrinal clarity to difficult texts without forcing novelty. In Song of Solomon, Durham aims to guard the church from both coldness and excess, helping readers see the call to covenant love, faithfulness, and communion with Christ while still handling the poetry with patience.

He remains valued for spiritual depth, pastoral balance, and a steady desire to build up Christ’s people in holiness and assurance. Recommended titles include Song of Solomon in the Geneva Series, his exposition of Revelation, and his work on scandal and the ordering of the church.
