His style is that of the vulgar colloquial, varied by rant … All the most solemn mysteries of our holy religion are by him rudely, roughly and impiously handled. Common sense is outraged and decency disgusted. His rantings are interspersed with coarse anecdotes.” (The the Essex Standard, 1855)
We have nothing but love for Charles Spurgeon, the prolific 19th century ‘Prince of Preachers’ who faithfully taught the word of God while fighting back against the theologically downgrade that was afflicting Christendom in his day.
For this reason, we’re delighted to discover The Spurgeon Sermon Series, a growing collection of audio sermons re-preached by British pastor Gavin Childress. Gavin leads Grace Baptist Chapel in Tottenham, London, and produces these with his son.
This growing collection of sermons and lectures, over 150, are preached in a British accent.
These sermons are also available on podcast, under the same name.
Though Spurgeon died in 1892 and was widely renowned then, no recordings of his voice are known to exist. The closest we have is this recording of his son Thomas, who may sound similar to what Spurgeon would have, reading his father’s final words at the Metropolitan Tabernacle.
If you prefer an American accent, you can also check out Spurgeon Gems, which has audio of hundreds of sermons, created by Koelsch Broadcasting Productions and now run by Chapel Library.
