The Heart of the Gospel: Twelve Messages Delivered in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Pastor Charles Spurgeon
In the autumn of 1891, the prince of preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon, was forced to leave London for the warmer climate of Mentone, France, in a desperate bid to recover his failing health. To shepherd his massive congregation at the historic Metropolitan Tabernacle, the church called upon Dr. Arthur T. Pierson-one of the premier theologians, apologists, and fathers of the early fundamental movement.
Pierson did not deliver dry, calculated academic lectures. Instead, standing before thousands of eager souls, he preached a series of spontaneous, unwritten, and profoundly urgent gospel messages that were captured almost completely verbatim. The result was an immediate, staggering revival that converted thousands of sinners and fortified the faith of believers across London.
In The Heart of the Gospel, these twelve timeless masterpieces are preserved for a new generation. With surgical biblical precision and an intense, burning passion for souls, Dr. Pierson strips away religious tradition to expose the glorious, simple core of the New Testament message: the all-sufficient, reconciling love of God found in Jesus Christ.
