Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was an English Baptist Preacher. He is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. Spurgeon was pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (which was later renamed the Metropolitan tabernacle) in London for 38 years.
