Charles Spurgeon is one of the most quoted preachers of the past. Thousands still read his sermons and writings. Yet few, according to Iain Murray, remember Spurgeon's theology. And even fewer remember his willingness to defend it. The Forgotten Spurgeon is not a biography. Instead, Murray’s book focuses on the three major controversies of Spurgeon's ministry: his stand for historic Calvinism while at New Park Street in the 1850s, his involvement in the baptismal regeneration debate of 1864, and the Down-Grade controversy of 1887-1891.

Michael Horton
