Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
(1834–92).
Christian
Baptist
minister. In 1851, he became a Baptist. He began preaching, and was appointed to a chapel at Waterbeach, near Cambridge. In 1854 he moved to New Park Street Chapel in London, where the crowds who came to hear him were so great that the Metropolitan Tabernacle was built for him in Newington Causeway, completed in 1861: he ministered there to the end of his life. The printed sermons (in the end amounting to 63 vols.) enabled him to reach an even wider audience. He was firmly
Calvinistic
in doctrine, and he withdrew from both the Evangelical Alliance and from the Baptist Union.
