Lectures to My Students

by Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon

While C. H. Spurgeon is still remembered as being the most popular preacher of the Victorian era, it has generally been forgotten that the influence he exercised on fellow ministers and theological students was possibly an even greater factor in his life than his own personal ministry. That he organized a college, supervised the training of some 845 students, presided at an annual conference of ministers, and regarded all this as his ‘life’s labour and delight’ are facts that are little known today. Spurgeon’s Lectures to my Students , contain the substance of Spurgeon’s regular Friday afternoon addresses to the college students.
