The Forgotten Spurgeon by Iain Murray is focused on the less explored aspects of Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s life, particularly his involvement in the “Down-Grade Controversy.” This conflict highlighted Spurgeon’s staunch defense of orthodox doctrine against theological liberalism in the Baptist Union, ultimately leading to his estrangement from the Union.
Murray provides a deeper understanding of Spurgeon’s theological positions, including his perspectives on Calvinism and evangelism. The book offers a balanced view of Spurgeon, shedding light on both his strengths and his challenges, making it an insightful resource for understanding this influential Christian figure.
