C. H. Spurgeon – Baptist preacher

Posted Image
Source: Wikipedia
The descendant of several generations of Independent ministers, he was born at Kelvedon, Essex, and became a Baptist in 1850. In the same year he preached his first sermon, and in 1852 he was appointed pastor of the Baptist congregation at Waterbeach. In 1854, he went to Southwark, where his sermons drew such crowds that a new church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Newington Causeway, had to be built for him. Apart from his preaching activities he founded a pastors’ college, an orphanage, and a colportage association for the propagation of uplifting literature. Spurgeon was a strong Calvinist. He had a controversy in 1864 with the Evangelical party of the Church of England for remaining in a Church that taught Baptismal Regeneration, and also estranged considerable sections of his own community by rigid opposition to the more liberal methods of Biblical exegesis. These differences led to a rupture with the Baptist Union in 1887. He owed his fame as a preacher to his great oratorical gifts, humor, and shrewd common sense, which showed itself especially in his treatment of contemporary problems. Among his works are The Saint and his Saviour (1857), Commenting and Commentaries (1876) and numerous volumes of sermons (translated into many languages).

theWord Anthology Libraries

Posted on by Pastor David

theWord Anthology. Note: An anthology is a group of various writings by a single author (usually) that are not on the same topic. Therefore you either will have dozens or hundreds of individual small files, or a single file with all of them in it. I have decided to go with a single file per author approach. Searching within theWord on just topic titles will usually find these works.

Also note that at present, my library has 45 anthologies in it, weighing in at about 140 MB, making this a problem to download. I have split them into two uploads at this time.
