The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit
Price/ea: We offer only the original and unedited books and sermons of C H Spurgeon. The text has not been altered, shortened, nor has it been changed to a so-called easier to read format. You are reading the same text that the people in Mr Spurgeon's congregation read. We do hope you will be blessed and enjoy the original and unedited sermons of Mr. Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit. The METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE PULPIT is C. H. Spurgeon's original unabridged, unedited 57-Volume sermon series (originally published by Passmore & Alabaster, Spurgeon's publishers, who were also members of his church). Stenographically recorded by his peerless and untiring private secretary, Mr. J. W. Harrald, each sermon was released weekly as a "Penny Pulpit" single publication, a popular method of sermon distribution in the 1800's. It was not only the best-selling "Penny Pulpit" of that time, but the yearly volumes of these sermons out-sold and continue to out-sell any other sermon publications. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) 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.
