“We object not to the narration of the deeds of our unregenerate condition, but to the mode in which it is too often done. Let sin have its monument, but let it be a heap of stones cast by the hands of execration - not a mausoleum erected by the hands of affection.”

English Particular Baptist preacher

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. He became one of the most influential Christian voices of the 19th century, and is still known in some circles as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, and defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. He also opposed the liberal and pragmatic theological trends that were taking hold in the church in his day.
