James Durham bol hlboko veriaci muž, ktorý sa vzdal svojho postavenia pozemkového vlastníka a kapitána, aby sa stal oddaným kazateľom. Jeho kázne a teologické práce odrážajú mimoriadnu usilovnosť a silné presvedčenie, často sa dotýkajú duchovných aj naliehavých spoločenských otázok svojej doby. Napriek svojej vážnosti a povahe, ktorá ho zriedkakedy nechala usmievať sa, Durham zanechal nezmazateľnú stopu ako jeden z najvýznamnejších a najbohabojnejších mužov svojej generácie, ktorého vplyv bol uznávaný aj mimo jeho domovskú krajinu.

In The Scandal of Stumbling Blocks , James Durham helps us to consider the matter deeply by defining the nature of stumbling as well as showing its serious consequences. He looks in considerable detail at different kinds of stumbling and identifies the ways that people can stumble and be stumbled. Durham provides practical advice for avoiding and preventing offense.
