Charles
Spurgeon:
The
Great
Orator (Book)
A great
Tabernacle was once built for a great preacher.
Such were Charles
Haddon Spurgeon's preaching gifts that London's Metropolitan
Tabernacle---a structure accommodating 6,000 people---was built just
for him. The great orator and preacher continued filling the pews
until his death thirty years later, while also founding there a pastor's
college and an orphanage, which both still exist.
...Spurgeon
delivered sermons that are eminently readable today, and still...in
print over a century later.
Rejecting
the Congregationalist theology of his father, Spurgeon was baptized as
an adult, and soon after discovered his God-given gift in a pastorate
near Cambridge, England. A powerful evangelist with a natural and
appealing sense of humor, Spurgeon delivered sermons that are eminently
readable today, and still, remarkably, in print over a century
later.
Charles
Haddon Spurgeon remains a role model for seminarians and seasoned
pastors alike, and an imagined fiery presence in the pulpit through his
inspired writings.
