Arnold Dallimore, Spurgeon: A New Biography

The Banner of Truth Trust, 1985, 253 pgs.

Summary: A solid and non-critical biography of the great Baptist preacher, Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892). Warmly evangelical, accessible, and historically accurate.

Benefits/ Detriments:
The embarrassment over Spurgeon not being a teetotaler and his smoking is palatable and the discussion of Spurgeon’s theological disputes often lacks nuisance. Recommended as an introduction to the great and godly preacher.
