Spurgeons The Treasury of David
Bible Commentary on Psalms
Spurgeons own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful, and by itself it would have been rich enough for posterity. But theres much more in The Treasury of David. Youll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators - contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Preachers and teachers will appreciate the homiletical hints on almost every verse, concise sermon outlines, and provocative seed thoughts.
Of all Spurgeons writings, the one that is his greatest works is "The Treasury of David", composed and polished over the span of nearly half his ministry. First published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacles periodical, The Sword and the Trowel, completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885.
Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeons ministry began there, calls this work "Spurgeons magnum opus." Spurgeons wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Essex, England. After preaching his first sermon at the age of 16, he became pastor of the church in Waterbeach at the age of 17. His most fruitful years of ministry were at the New Park Street and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit in London. Called the "Prince of Preachers," he had more than 1,900 sermons published prior to his death.
