The Army of God
Spurgeon’s Vision for the Church
Geoffrey Chang
How Spurgeon’s ecclesiology affected his ministry
Reformed ecclesiology and Baptist polity
First book in Spurgeon’s Legacy series
Charles Haddon Spurgeon faithfully served the Metropolitan Tabernacle from 1854 to his death in 1892. Undergirding everything else was this central responsibility: Spurgeon was the pastor of a church. What was Spurgeon’s ecclesiology and how did it affect how he ordered and led his local church? Chang examines Spurgeon’s Reformed ecclesiology and Baptist polity and looks at how they were shaped by his militant church outlook.

… helpfully weaves the themes of baptistic ecclesiology and reformed tradition together as a seamless robe. We are exposed to the healthy zeal of Spurgeon for each member of God’s church army to wield the particular spiritual weapon granted by grace for the advance of the gospel in this fallen world.
