3 Ways to Learn from Charles Spurgeon

Charles SpurgeonCharles Spurgeon’s impact was enormous. You’ll come across his name in Bible study guides, seminary-required curricula, and many of your resources in Logos.

“With whom among men can you compare [Spurgeon]? He combined the preaching power of Jonathan Edwards and Whitefield with the organizing power of Wesley, and the energy, fire, and courage of Luther.” —B. H. Carroll

On June 19, 1834, Spurgeon was born in Kelvedon, UK. At 15, he accepted Christ and joined a Baptist church. In fact, most people would describe his theology as Calvinist; Spurgeon, though, said that “if I am asked what is my creed, I reply, ‘It is Jesus Christ.’”

In honor of Spurgeon’s birthday, we’re highlighting a few resources for those looking to learn from his years of study:

  2. “But the Lord Jesus Christ, by his obedience unto death, has both fulfilled its demands, and suffered its penalties, for us; and has thus freed us from it as a covenant, and has brought us into a better covenant, the covenant of grace.” Continue Reading…

Free Book of the Month: Horae Homileticae, Galatians to Ephesians

Horae HomileticaeCharles Simeon’s Horae Homileticae, Volume 17: Galatians to Ephesians is free during the month of May! Get yours now.

Charles Simeon (1759–1836) was a well-known evangelical clergyman. His most notable work, Horae Homileticae, is a collection of sermons published in 1832 to benefit the next generation of young pastors.

“[Horae Homileticae] is the best place to go for researching Simeon’s theology. You can find his views on almost every key text in the Bible. . . . What Simeon experienced in the word was remarkable. And it is so utterly different from the counsel that we receive today that it is worth looking at carefully.” —John Piper

When you download volume 17 of Horae Homileticae, you’ll get 12 chapters of scholarly, spiritually rich insight into Galatians and Ephesians. Simeon breaks down the Scriptures chapter by chapter, which allows his exposition to focus on the books’ important themes: the fruits of the Spirit, freedom through Christ, and more.

“Be Bible Christians, not systems Christians.” —Charles Simeon (click to tweet)

Why Logos March Madness is so unique

One of the benefits of buying a whole collection of works is that the cost per individual volume is less than purchasing the volumes separately. But what if you aren’t sure you want the whole collection, or you only want a handful of titles at the sale price?

This is the sale to pick up individual titles or volumes at some of the best possible prices. For instance, you can get Carson’s Pillar New Testament Commentary: The Gospel according to John for only $11.50 instead of $46.

Another approach to consider is gathering all the discounted books from one author. If you were to add all 15 of D. A. Carson’s discounted resources, the regular price would be over $383—the sale price is only $96!

Lastly, if you’re interested in checking out a new author, this is the best time to pick up one or two titles at a discount—that way you can get a feel for their writing before  considering adding more of their works to your library.

This sale comes only once a year

There’s no guarantee that next year’s Logos March Madness will look the same or feature the same authors and products, so be sure to pick up as many resources now as possible.

The Logos March Madness sale ends April 15. Pick up your favorite titles now—see all deals.
