The Sum and Substance of the Gospel

'The Sum and Substance of the Gospel' introduces readers to the life and writings of one of the greatest preachers of the modern era, Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892). Nathan A. Finn and Aaron Lumpkin's introduction traces the life and ministry of this great London pastor, focusing on Spurgeon's commitment to the gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ.
