Description
Charles Spurgeon, the renowned Baptist preacher of 19th-century London, is celebrated as “the prince of preachers.” Yet his ministry’s impact extended far beyond mere eloquence. In The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon, Steven J. Lawson highlights how Spurgeon boldly taught the doctrines of grace while fervently proclaiming the free offer of salvation in Christ.
Over his 38-year pastorate—first at New Park Street Chapel and later at the Metropolitan Tabernacle—Spurgeon articulated Calvinist theology with remarkable clarity and depth. Yet he never failed to couple it with an urgent call for sinners to repent and trust in Christ. Lawson traces these dual emphases throughout Spurgeon’s prolific and enduring ministry.
The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon serves as a stirring appeal for believers to emulate Spurgeon’s example—holding fast to the sovereignty of God in salvation while maintaining unwavering zeal in proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ.
