Charles Haddon Spurgeon, referido como C. H. Spurgeon , foi um pregador batista reformado britânico.
Converteu-se ao cristianismo em 6 de janeiro de 1850, aos quinze anos de idade. Aos dezesseis, pregou seu primeiro sermão; no ano seguinte tornou-se pastor de uma igreja batista em Waterbeach, Condado de Cambridgeshire . Em 1854, Spurgeon, então com vinte anos, foi chamado para ser pastor da capela batista de New Park Street, Londres, que mais tarde viria a chamar-se Tabernáculo Metropolitano, transferindo-se para novo prédio.
Desde o início do ministério, seu talento para a exposição dos textos bíblicos foi considerado extraordinário. Sua excelência na pregação das Escrituras Bíblicas lhe renderam o título de O Príncipe dos Pregadores e O Último dos Puritanos.

„It needs more skill than I can tell
To play the second fiddle well.“

„I think I speak not too strongly when I say that a church in the land without the Spirit of God is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember you stand in somebody else's way; you are a tree bearing no fruit, standing where another fruitful tree might grow.“

P. 145.
„It lies not in man's right nor in man's power truly to justify the guilty. This is a miracle reserved for the Lord alone. God, the infinitely just Sovereign, knows that there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not, and therefore, in the infinite sovereignty of His divine nature and in the splendor of His ineffable love, He undertakes the task, not so much of justifying the just as of justifying the ungodly. God has devised ways and means of making the ungodly man to stand justly accepted before Him: He has set up a system by which with perfect justice He can treat the guilty as if he had been all his life free from offence, yea, can treat him as if he were wholly free from sin. He justifieth the ungodly.“

„It is a great deal easier to set a story afloat than to stop it. If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, "A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on." Nevertheless, it does not injure us; for if light as feather it travels as fast, its effect is just about as tremendous as the effect of down, when it is blown against the walls of a castle; it produces no damage whatever, on account of its lightness and littleness. Fear not, Christian. Let slander fly, let envy send forth its forked tongue, let it hiss at you, your bow shall abide in strength. Oh! shielded warrior, remain quiet, fear no ill; but, like the eagle in its lofty eyrie, look thou down upon the fowlers in the plain, turn thy bold eye upon them and say, "Shoot ye may, but your shots will not reach half-way to the pinnacle where I stand. Waste your powder upon me if ye will; I am beyond your reach." Then clap your wings, mount to heaven, and there laugh them to scorn, for ye have made your refuge God, and shall find a most secure abode.“

„Wisdom is, I suppose, the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.“
— Charles Spurgeon
