Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was an English Baptist preacher. He remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, to some of whom he is known as the “Prince of Preachers”. He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition.
Spurgeon was pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. While at the Metropolitan Tabernacle he built an Almshouse and the Stockwell Orphanage. He encouraged his congregation to engage actively with the poor of Victorian London.
Spurgeon authored sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, and hymns. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into a plethora of languages during his lifetime. Millions of Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.
