We are weak, but mighty is the Lord our God, and the battle is not ours, but the Lord's.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) war ein englischer Baptistenpastor, der in London eines der größten freikirchlichen Gemeindezentren des 19. Jahrhunderts leitete. Bekannt wurde er durch seine volksnahe, bildstarke Predigtweise, weitverbreitete Auslegungswerke wie „Aus der Schatzkammer Davids“ sowie seinen entschiedenen Widerstand gegen theologische Liberalisierungstendenzen im sogenannten Downgrade-Streit. Für Bibelleser heute steht sein Werk für eine seelsorglich sensible Schrifterklärung, die reformierte Glaubenslehre mit praktischer Alltagserfahrung verbindet.
