Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) was an English Baptist preacher, pastor, and prolific religious writer, widely known as the “Prince of Preachers.” Born in Kelvedon, Essex, he began preaching as a teenager and became pastor of London’s New Park Street Chapel at age nineteen. His extraordinary popularity soon required larger premises, leading to the construction of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Southwark, where he preached to thousands. Spurgeon’s sermons were published throughout his lifetime and circulated internationally. He wrote or edited numerous books, including Lectures to My Students, The Treasury of David, All of Grace, and Morning and Evening. A committed Calvinist and evangelical, he combined doctrinal seriousness with vivid language, practical application, and humor. He also founded a pastors’ college, an orphanage, and several charitable ministries. His writings remain influential among Protestant readers, preachers, and students of Christian devotion.
