Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 ? January 31,
1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains
highly influential among Christians of different
denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince
of Preachers." This despite the fact that he was a strong
figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the
Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession
of Faith understanding, against liberalism and pragmatic
theological tendencies even in his day.
In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000
people, often up to 10 times each week at different places.
His sermons have been translated into many languages.
Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park
Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London
for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the
Baptist Union of Great Britain and later had to leave that
denomination. In 1857, he started a charity organization
called Spurgeon's which now works globally. He also founded
Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously.
Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works
including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on
prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist, and more.
Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were
translated into many languages during his lifetime.
Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more
material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.
