Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in England. He preached his first sermon when he was 16 and at 17 became pastor of a church. His most productive years were in London as a minister at New Park Street and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Called the "Prince of Preachers," he had more than 1,900 sermons published before his death.
Before each weekly sermon, Spurgeon read a passage of Scripture, often interrupting his readings with spontaneous verse by verse comments to expose the Scripture's meaning. Many of these expositions were published at the end of his weekly sermons in The Sword and The Trowel.
However, they have never before been published as a work to themselves. Three volumes are here published under the title Spurgeon's Expositions of the Bible containing a complete compilation of those expositions. Not every verse of the Bible was covered in his transcribed expositions, but this large project has resulted in a "virtual" concise Bible commentary which is presented here.

Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
