". . . . Charles Haddon Spurgeon, who, by common consent, is acknowledged to be the greatest preacher since apostolic times. I have seen 2,500 of his published sermons. They are as plump as a partridge, and as full of meat as an egg.
"These sermons show that he reverently and prayerfully studied the whole Bible, honestly regarding it as INSPIRED OF GOD from Genesis to Revelation, and by simple childlike faith accepting ALL OF IT as the WORD OF GOD. With what result? More fruit ripened on that tree than on any other that has blossomed since the apostles died."
"The world heard, and accepted, and honored the man; orphans were sheltered, clothed, fed, and educated; aged widows found asylums in the clouded sunset of life; thousands upon thousands in many lands were converted to God; colporteurs pushed out their wagons laden with wholesome books; schools and churches sprang up as by magic; preachers and teachers kindled their torches at his fire, and diffused in worldwide waves the light of the spiritual conflagration."
"These reflections, substantially in the order stated, LED ME TO SEEK LIGHT ON A SCHOOL MODEL IN THE BOOK ITSELF." (An Interpretation of the English Bible, Volume 1, pages 13, 14).
"His ministry has demonstrated the power of a gospel which insists on man's depravity, the necessity of regeneration, the PLENARY INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES, and the undiluted doctrine of substitutionary, vicarious expiation."
