About the book
Ernest Bacon's biography of Charles Haddon Spurgeon acquaints the reader with a loving overview of the life of the 'Prince of Preachers' that includes many excerpts from his sermons and correspondence. Spurgeon never misused his pulpit by preaching a social gospel, but he founded a Pastors' School and an orphanage, thereby putting his beliefs into action. Of special note are the chapter headings of quotes from Puritan divines that are appropriate to the life of Spurgeon. The chapter outlining his various doctrinal positions is graced with his writings and is worthy of serious study by itself. The sad chapter concerning the 'Downgrade Controversy' and its effect upon British churches shows how venal and petty liberal theologians can become. It also demonstrates how a Christian leader can and should respond to attacks upon God and His Word. A small but useful book.
