Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher whose London ministry made him one of the nineteenth century's most widely read sermon writers. Preaching at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, he combined Calvinist theology, vivid illustration, evangelistic appeal, and institution building. His sermons circulated internationally in weekly printed form.
Spurgeon's Selected Sermons show Victorian evangelical preaching at industrial scale. Week by week, his sermons moved from pulpit to print, reaching readers far beyond the Metropolitan Tabernacle.
