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.

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.
