New Park Street Pulpit, 1855 - Vol. 1: Sermons of C.H. Spurgeon

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The most widely read pastor in modern history. 63 volumes. 3,561 printed sermons. The ‘official’ sermon volumes of Spurgeon—originally published by Passmore & Alabaster of London—are one of the most grand collections of sermons in the annals of the pulpit. Read by millions, translated into dozens of languages, and still referenced by ministers each and very week. Never re-typeset in full since their original prints. Uninterrupted from 1855 through 1917, these volumes contain a significant amount of the pulpit messages that Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached throughout his ministry at New Park Street Chapel and the Metropolitan Tabernacle—yet only portions, often edited and even altered, have been re-typeset in the greater than 100 years that have passed. Refreshed publication has been long overdue. Like the vast majority of important theological works, publishers have traditionally continued to bring to market new, fresh printings with some regularity—updating typesets and maintaining the text for continued widespread use. However, the full 63 volumes have long been such a cumbersome and daunting project that it has yet to be picked up . . . until now.

About the author

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.
