Charles Spurgeon considered his magnum opus to be his writings on the Book of Psalms. These writing are often called The Treasury of David. Spurgeon worked on this commentary throughout a great portion of his ministry, and his wife, Susannah, said that if he had never written any other work, these writings would have served as a permanent literary memorial to him.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was the most famous Baptist minister of his generation. For such a significant figure, he has received surprisingly little scholarly coverage. This present work seeks to make a contribution to Spurgeon studies by examining him through the lens of his "spirituality." A wealth of primary material, much of it previously untapped, is used to build up a picture of his spiritual life. Whereas older and more recent interpretations of Spurgeon have a tendency to be one-dimensional, examination of his spirituality reveals him to be a complex figure, one who was molded by a diverse range of factors. Despite this complexity, a unifying theme for Spurgeon's spirituality is traced and fresh light is shed on the foremost popular preacher of the Victorian age.
