C. H. Spurgeon and the Metropolitan Tabernacle

<p style=text-align: justify;>Charles Haddon Spurgeon passed away on January 31 1892 but the influence of his faith lives on. He is not “the Forgotten Spurgeon”. Besides he has been called the “Prince of Preachers” the “Heir of the Puritans” “the People’s Preacher” the Preacher who had “Communion with Christ and his people” and one who lived “by revealed truth.”<br /><br />It is the studied purpose of this author to offer a documentary history of Spurgeon and the working church to show that Spurgeon believed wholeheartedly in a healthy balance between doctrine and practice by selecting the addresses sermons and testimonies that best cover the twenty-five years of Spurgeon’s pastorate and the working church at the Metropolitan Tabernacle from 1854–79.<br /><br />This current publication incorporates primary source material from the Metropolitan Tabernacle <em>Minute Books of Church & Annual Church Meetings</em> 1854–82 <em>The Sword and the Trowel and the Memorial Volume </em>1879.</p>
