The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Books by Spurgeon

Good to have the Highway back again!!!

Today I looked around in a shop that sells antiques, collectables and second hand books. Amongst the books I found four volumes by C.H. Spurgeon on the Old Testament and later found also four volumes on the New Testament. I can't remember the titles unfortunately.

Does anyone perhaps know such writings by Spurgeon and if so, is it worth buying it? I am pretty much a book freak but don't want to buy just to buy. Didn't had much time to look at the books in detail.

Just about anything written by Spurgeon is worth reading.

But let me add this personal caution...

I have found that Spurgeon has a penchant to take specific promises of God given to individuals and univeralize them; applying them to all believers where I do not find any exegetical warrant to do so. Remember, C.H. Spurgeon was a man and like any of us was prone to err. Therefore, read discerningly and with your Bible open. Of course, this bit of my own advice applies to any writer and is not meant to be restricted to Spurgeon only.

So, if the typeset is readable (not very small) and the books are in reasonably good condition... Oh....and if they are priced 'right', then by all means grab them.

Thanks for your reply. The books are not in a very good condition and in my opinion a bit expensive.
