This book contains Charles H. Spurgeon's famous sermon, "Samson Conquered," in its original, unedited form. A brief introduction and commentary pertaining to the sermon is provided by the editor.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist Preacher born on 19 June 1834. To this day, Spurgeon remains one of the most influential preachers of all time, and has often been referred to as the “Prince of Preachers.” Spurgeon served as pastor over “New Park Street Chapel” in London for approximately thirty-eight years. In addition to pastoring, he was also a well-known author, penning numerous works during his lifetime that included sermons, an autobiography, Bible commentaries, devotionals, poetry, and hymns.
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
