Publisher's Description

▼▲

The figures associated with Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s ministry are staggering. Between his preaching and the printings of his sermons, he reached hundreds of thousands of people, in his lifetime and in the years since. But he was not an itinerant preacher or writer or philanthropist. He faithfully served the Metropolitan Tabernacle from his arrival in 1854 to his death in 1892. Undergirding everything else was this central responsibility: Spurgeon was the pastor of a church.

What was Spurgeon’s ecclesiology and how did it affect how he ordered and led his local church? Chang examines Spurgeon’s Reformed ecclesiology and Baptist polity and looks at how they were shaped by his militant church outlook in this first book in the Spurgeon’s Legacy series.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

… Chang fully leverages his gifting and expertise, bringing Spurgeon’s life and ministry forward as a source of instruction and encouragement for twenty–first–century ministers.

-- Jason K. Allen (President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary)

… helpfully weaves the themes of baptistic ecclesiology and reformed tradition together as a seamless robe. We are exposed to the healthy zeal of Spurgeon for each member of God’s church army to wield the particular spiritual weapon granted by grace for the advance of the gospel in this fallen world.

-- Tom Nettles (Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)

Impeccable research and lively practical writing characterizes The Army of God.

-- Ray Rhodes, Jr. (Pastor, Grace Community Church, Dawsonville, Georgia; author, ‘Susie; The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon’)

Rare is the volume that gives us new information on Spurgeon. This is just such a rare volume. Enjoy and be edified.

-- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)
