Spurgeon and the Poor is a fascinating study into the life and ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, exploring his understanding of the place of benevolence in the ministry of the local church. Alex DiPrima examines the way Spurgeon's belief that gospel preaching and soul-winning formed the church's mission informed his view of social concern as a compelling argument for its power. Readers will gain insight into Spurgeon's theology and experience as he ministered to the oppressed through ministries, private philanthropy, and public advocacy.
