Murray has uncovered much fresh information which, I suspect, will both surprise and delight even the most seasoned reader....a valuable new resource--Garth M. Rosell, American Presbyterians.

This is a wonderful book. It will help you in learning a bit about the kind of man Spurgeon was as well as hyper-calvinism.

There seems to be a resurgence of these controversial topics on the horizon, and it is helpful to not only understand Andrew Fuller's contribution to evangelical Christianity, but Charles Spurgeon as well.

This book briefly chronicles the controversy over this divisive and un-Biblical view of God's sovereignty in Spurgeon's day.

A great read for anyone wanting to understand more on these topics and some of the key players in it like Gill, and in Spurgeon's day James Wells etc..

Well worth reading! ( )

In this short book Iain Murray details C.H. Spurgeon's lifelong battle with hyper-Calvinism. Murray does an excellent job of showing the differences between historic Calvinism and the strict systematic Calvinism that has done so much damage to the Church. This book is a powerful corrective to the excesses of Reformed theology. Here you will find a resounding call to sincere, earnest and (thoroughly) Biblical gospel preaching. If you are confused by the doctrines of grace or you find yourself troubled by the logical conclusions being drawn by some Calvinists read this book! I found it to be an unexpected blessing and a reminder of my own duties as a minister of the (whole) gospel. ( )

Murray has been such a blessing to God's Church. Here, he accomplishes nothing short of greatness as he sets Spurgeon in right context in view of his Calvinistic theology and the antagonism of his contemporaries. ( )
