About the Authors
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) preached his first sermon at the age of sixteen and became pastor of his first church at age eighteen. By age twenty-two he was the most popular preacher of his day, speaking to crowds of ten thousand people. In 1861, his congregation of the New Park Street Baptist Church built the Metropolitan Tabernacle, which seated six thousand people. Spurgeon ministered there until shortly before his death.
Spurgeon published more than two thousand sermons in his lifetime. He also built Sunday schools and churches, founded the Pastor’s College, established Stockwell orphanage, which housed five hundred children, and was president of a society devoted to giving out Bibles and gospel tracts
John Calvin (1509–1564) was born in France. This “reformer” and theologian is recognized as one of the greatest biblical commentators of all time. Charles Spurgeon called him the “prince” of Bible commentators.
Matthew Henry (1662–1714), clergyman and Bible commentator, began reading the Bible at the age of three. He learned Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and French, and later studied law. In 1687, though, he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister and served in that capacity in different locations until his death. He was a loving pastor, a student of God’s word, and a gifted writer.
Matthew Henry is best known for his commentary on the whole Bible. His notes, marked by a strong emphasis on practical living and devotion, remain as insightful and relevant as they were almost three hundred years ago. Over 150 years after Henry’s death, Charles Spurgeon said of his commentary, “Every minister ought to read it entirely and carefully through once at least.” |
