Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of nineteenth-century London, is remembered today as "the prince of preachers." However, the strength of Spurgeon's ministry went far beyond simple rhetorical skill. In The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon, new from Reformation Trust Publishing, author Steven J. Lawson shows that Spurgeon fearlessly taught the doctrines of grace and tirelessly held forth the free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. In thirty-eight years as pastor of the congregation meeting at the New Park Street Chapel and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon propounded Calvinistic theology with precision and clarity. Yet he always accompanied it with a passionate plea for sinners to come to Christ and be saved. Lawson traces these twin points of emphasis throughout Spurgeon's long, fruitful ministry, showing also that he preached Christ crucified without apology and looked to the Holy Spirit for success in all his endeavors.

Jonathan Edwards is well known as perhaps the greatest theologian the United States has ever produced. He is equally noted for his preaching and writing. But in this Long Line Profile, Dr. Steven J. Lawson considers the unique focus and commitment with which Edwards sought to live out the Christian faith. Lawson examines Edwards' life through the lens of the seventy resolutions he penned in his late teens, shortly after his conversion, which cover everything from glorifying God to repenting of sin to managing time. Drawing on Edwards' writings, as well as scholarly accounts of Edwards' life and thought, Lawson shows how Edwards sought to live out these lofty goals he set for the management of his walk with Christ. In Edwards' example, he finds helpful instruction for all believers.

Serving Christ and His church as a pastor, theologian, and military chaplain, John Owen lived through one of the most tumultuous periods in England's history. His own life was marked by turbulent changes as his position rose and fell according to the tides of English politics. One day he was preaching before Parliament; the next he was fortunate just to escape with his life. But through it all, Owen remained steadfast in his faith in the triune God of the Bible. In The Trinitarian Devotion of John Owen, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson explores the life and thought of this remarkable preacher and theologian, with a focus on Owen's Trinitarian theology. Far from being a minute point of doctrine, God's triune majesty was central to Owen's Christian life and devotion. This book presents Owen's theology of the Trinity as a door through which Christians today can find incredible blessing. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.
