In this volume we give you Charles H. Spurgeon commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
The Prince of Preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon (19th June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was not only a wonderful orator but also magnificent with his pen. The sermons he preached touched the lives of thousands. His writings still continue to reach those who read them to this very day.
Reading Spurgeon today may be secondary to the impossibility of hearing him but there is no doubt that his words still carry the weight of Biblical truth.
Spurgeon is best remembered as the pastor the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, England. There he enjoyed many years of fruitful ministry, leading people to Christ and pastoring the ever growing congregation of the Church.
Spurgeon provided these expositions orally during services at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. He would address a given chapter during the service and over time they built up into this body of work. Because Spurgeon did not tackle a book at a time some chapters did remain untouched by his exposition by the time of his death. In this work the following chapters are omitted because Spurgeon did not provide an commentary on them: Romans 11, 13, 14 & 16 / 1 Corinthians 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14 & 16 / 2 Corinthians 2, 3, 7, 9 & 10-13 / Ephesians 3 / 1 Thessalonians 2 & 3 / 1 Timothy 2-6.
Despite these chapters of Scripture missing from these expositions they still provide an invaluable treatment of Scripture that is as relevant and helpful today as it was when they were given from Spurgeon's pulpit in London in the 19th century.
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.
