Benefit from the incredible wisdom of Charles Spurgeon, passage by passage. Spurgeon's writings on the Bible fill dozens of volumes-his thoughts on particular passages scattered in numerous books and sermons. These volumes collect his thoughts on ten different New Testament letters in a commentary format, with illustrations and applications culled from his sermons and writings.Spurgeon's content is now easily accessible-there is no longer a need to comb through many volumes looking for one nugget of wisdom. Spurgeon's writings are now curated in a format that is tied to the biblical text.These commentaries direct you to places where Spurgeon explicitly cites a verse and where he alludes to it. They highlight illustration content, so the preacher looking for an illustration from Spurgeon relating to a verse will be able to find one easily. Each section of Scripture includes at least one application from Spurgeon based on those verses. And these volumes save time-reading Spurgeon for pleasure is wonderful, but preachers and teachers working under a deadline need ways to streamline their sermon preparation process.The Spurgeon Commentaries do all this by trimming the excess out of Spurgeon's sermon archive and increasing functionality, usability, and readability. Outdated language has even been updated, making Spurgeon's writing easier than ever to understand.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Author · 150 books
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
