About Charles Spurgeon

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential amongst Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He is one of the most famous preachers of the late 19th century. He regularly preached to audiences of over 10,000 people, all before the time of electronic amplification. He also founded the charity organization now known as Spurgeon’s, that works worldwide with families and children, as well as a famous theological college which after his death was called after him: Spurgeon’s College.
