Publisher's summary

"Tethered to the cross" is how the renowned 19th-century English Baptist Minister Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) described the task of ministry and his approach to preaching.

For nearly four decades, Spurgeon served as the pastor of the church at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. But what specifically guided the reading of Scripture by the man known as the "Prince of Preachers"?

Tracing the development of Spurgeon's thought and his approach to biblical hermeneutics throughout his ministry, theologian and historian Thomas Breimaier argues that Spurgeon viewed the entire Bible through the lens of the cross of Christ. This method led Spurgeon to interpret texts in a consistent fashion, resulting in sermons, articles, and instruction that employed cross-centered language, which was aimed at the conversion of unbelievers.

With Breimaier as our guide, better understanding how Spurgeon approached the task of interpreting Scripture and preaching the gospel might enable us, too, to be tethered to the cross of Christ.

Excellent Study on Spurgeon

This is an excellent historical/theological study of Spurgeon’s two main preaching and ministry emphases. Again and again, the author reveals how these overarching themes are manifested in Spurgeon’s treatment of various scripture genres in his preaching. Made me want to reflect on my commitment to the cross and evangelism in my own preaching.

Quite Tedious

As great of a man and preacher Sturgeon was, it didn’t translate well into his biography
