Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was one of the most renowned preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as a prolific writer of evangelical works that have impacted the Christian Church over the past two centuries. His Treasury of David is his classic work on the book of Psalms which was originally published within the pages of his The Sword and The Trowel magazine over a 20-year period from 1865-1885, and then published in its entirety in a classic seven-volume set in 1885. The Treasury of David is quite unique in its composition as Spurgeon spent countless hours in libraries searching through the annals of eminent Christian authors throughout Church history for the choice comments he included with each verse of every Psalm—such as, Jonathan Edwards, Augustine, Thomas Brooks, Martin Luther, John Bunyan, Athanasius, Josephus, John Calvin, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Baxter, William Jay, John Trapp, Richard Hooker, William Gurnall, and many more. Upon completion of this work, Spurgeon comments, "The Book of Psalms instructs us in the use of wings as well as words. It sets us both mounting and singing. If I may only hope that these volumes will be as useful to other hearts in the reading as to mine in the writing, I shall be well rewarded by the prospect." One of Spurgeon's pastoral successors at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Eric Hayden, once called this “Spurgeon’s Magnus Opus,” and his wife, Suzannah, remarked that if her husband had never written any other work, this would have been “a permanent literary memorial.” The publishers at Bridge Logos have republished this superb set from the original 1885 first edition in an easy-to-read 10-volume set which is conveniently divided into volumes that reflect the biblical delineation of the Five Books of the Psalms—and includes a biography of C. H. Spurgeon, by Pure Gold Classics editor, Gene Fedele. “This extraordinary set of commentaries on the Psalms, from one of the Church’s last eminent 'Puritans,’ has educated and inspired generations of Christians since its first release, nearly 150 years ago, and it is our hope and prayer that through this “Treasure” many more will be richly blessed and encouraged in their faith, now and for generations to come,” comments Fedele. This Pure Gold Classics edition of The Treasury of David, by Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), is an expanded 10-volume set, published by Bridge Logos, intentionally divided into the Five Books of the Psalms delineated in the Holy Bible (AKJV). The Treasury of David: Volume Three (1865-1885) is an exposition of Psalms 28-41 and includes an introduction, by editor, Gene Fedele. This Third volume, along with volumes One and Two are the complete commentary of Book One (of Five) of the Psalms, comprised of Psalms 1-41. Each Psalm is expounded, verse by verse, by the “Prince of Preachers” and includes precious biblical insights and applications on the Scripture texts hundreds of eminent Christians throughout history—such as John Bunyan, Martin Luther, Thomas Brooks, Jonathan Edwards, Augustine, John Calvin, William Jay, Erasmus, John Newton, Samuel Rutherford, John Flavel, Matthew Henry, Ambrose, John Trapp, and many more. As Spurgeon reflects, “More and more is the conviction forced upon my heart that every man must traverse the territory of the Psalms himself if he would come to know what a goodly land they are...None but the Holy Spirit can give a man the key to the treasury of David.” This classic set remains a priceless “Treasure” of divine spiritual nourishment for every child of God."
