‘Spurgeon always provides a solid meal and sustenance on which one can live … Never was the truth he preached and proclaimed, in such a winsome and powerful manner, more needed than today.’ — D. MARTYN LLOYD-JONES

Book Description

This is a newly typeset edition of the only commentary on a complete New Testament book ever written by C. H. Spurgeon. Originally published as The Gospel of the Kingdom, it was largely written during the last days of the great preacher’s life. ‘Such words acquire a solemnity and pathos with which nothing else could invest them’, wrote Mrs. Susannah Spurgeon when first introducing the volume in 1893 shortly after the death of her husband. ‘We listen almost as to a voice “from the excellent glory”.’

Spurgeon’s Commentary on Matthew therefore represents the fruit of a lifetime spend in the study and exposition of Scripture. It bears all the hallmarks of the genius of one who in his day was known as ‘the Prince of Preachers’- reverence for the very words of Scripture, faithful teaching, deep insight, practical application, profound simplicity and spiritual power. Above all, from start to finish, the reader is struck by the author’s unbounded devotion to and commendation of the Lord Jesus Christ- the King who is himself the gospel of the kingdom.

Eric Miner – November 2, 2018

I’m In a weekly bible study with men who have never, my self included, never gone through Matthew generally but not very carefully. All contribute thoughts, insights and often just share notes in their study bibles. The time is interpersonal and flexible and not designed for a “in-depth” line for line study. However I try to show up “full”.
Finding CHS Matthew Cimmentary at a used book store has proven providential.
It is definitely worth noting: it was his last written work. Thus it is sucuent and a short verse by verse insights for life applications of Godly eternal wisdom. Rich rewarding and wonderful in affirmations. Often his keen simple comments offered conversational provide a point of reference to keep our study on the course when we take off on tangents. CHS always magnifies Christ Alone, Faith Alone, Scriptute Alone.
I would love to give a copy to each of the men at least when we have finished our Matthew study. It’s a definitely a timeless “go to” resource.
PS keeping a dictionary handly for some of the “Prince of Preachers” vocabulary is additionally time well spent. Praise God for such books.
