Spurgeon wrote the Treasury of David, the definitive commentary on the Psalms. Available very cheaply at the Met Tab bookshop.

I had heard that there was a set of his which contained 6 books on the OT and three on the new? Any ideas guys?

I'm not aware of any othr commentaries by Spurgeon. He was the Prince of Preachers, not the Prince of Commentators.

Do get his book on the Psalms though- it's great!

Steve

Can we get a recommendation on which edition may be the preferred one?

There are some sets which take comments from his sermons and put them in order of the Biblical text. I suspect you may have seen something like that, David.

Well, let's give it its full original title:

The Treasury of David, Containing an Original Exposition of the Book of Psalms, a Collection of Illustrative Extracts from the Whole Range of Literature, a Series of Homiletical Hints Upon Almost Every Verse, and Lists of Writers Upon Each Psalm 7 volumes (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1869-1885)

It's most readily available as a 3-volume set (containing, almost unabridged, the original 7 volumes) from Hendrickson Publishers. I say "almost unabridged" because Hendrickson does leave out the "lists of writers upon each psalm" presumably because the vast majority of Spurgeon's recommendations have long since been out of print.

But the commentary itself is complete. Probably one of the greatest devotional commentaries ever written.

Devout souls do not take offence at the depths and difficulties of God's Word, but are, thereby, drawn to intenser contemplation of them. - Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)

I have the two volume abridged version by Crossway, edited by Alister McGrath & J.I. Packer.

Let me just add that, along with his massive commentary, Spurgeon preached no fewer than 445 sermons (by my actual count) from the Book of Psalms during his many years of ministry. The man was amazing...

Also, someone mentioned a commentary on Matthew: Spurgeon was working on a devotional commentary on that gospel when he died in 1892. It was completed by his wife and his private secretary, I believe, from his notes, and was published sometime after his death.

I have a book "twelve striking sermons" by Spurgeon and on the dust jacket there is a list of books that were printed at the time. It says there is a 4 volume treasury of the old testament and a 4 volume treasury of the new testament. Where can I get hold of these??

I know this is not a commentary, it says they are sermons but they sound great.

You'll probably have to look second-hand, or collect his sermons! Day One will soon be publishing a book of never before published sermons by CHS. I proofread them, and they are gems.

Here is everything Spurgeon. Libronix is so expensive though.

I have these two sets, packaged as 8 volumes in 4. The sets (both versions) were published by Zondervan, but have been out of print for some time. (The date on my set is 1968.)

All 8 volumes consist of 7,224 pages reproducing 2,600 of Spurgeon's sermons (out of a total sermon count of approximately 3,500). The sermons are all in biblical order, but are undated. I had to provide the dates myself. In my set, Volume 1 is Genesis through Psalm 111; Volume 2 is Psalm 112 through Malachi; Volume 3 is Matthew through Romans 3; and Volume 4 is Romans 4 through Revelation.

I got my set from a library that had a duplicate set. Got the whole thing for $40 - $10 per volume. The bargain of the century!

Do they say where these sermons have been hiding all these years?

I believe the only two commentaries Spurgeon ever wrote were his Treasury of David and Matthew-the Gospel of the Kingdom. Matthew was Spurgeon's final work written over two winters whilst in the south of France. He died just after completion and his wife commented that much of it was "written on the very border land of heaven". Spurgeon died before he was able to revise what he had written and its final format was prepared by a close friend.

The edition I have is by Pligrim Publications dated 1978. I don't know whether it is still in print or not, but I find it a valuable commentary on Matthew's gospel

Yes. In the library of Spurgeon's college (now very broad evangelical, ordains women etc) - which used to be the PAstor's college.

Apparently the explanation is that (as you all know I'm sure) the sermons were published one a week, and this went on until some point during world war one, long after CHS died in 1892. THe publication of sermons did not stop because they run out, but because of severe rationing of paper due to the war effort.

Some time later, a single volume of remaining sermons was issued. However, there was still a slice of sermons left, and these are they. Some of them are pretty early ones, and some of them have a serious PUNCH!

The following website is excellent for all Spurgeon publications. I have purchased Spurgeon publications from here.

THIS SET IS KNOWN AS SPURGEON'S "MAGNUM OPUS"
7 Black Clothbound Volumes — Gold Stamped on Spine

You can purchase this set $110.00 7-Volume Clothbound Author: C. H. Spurgeon

The TREASURY OF DAVID is the seven-volume commentary on the Book of PSALMS, twenty years in the making and the most extensive work ever accomplished on this book of the Bible! The PILGRIM PUBLICATIONS edition is reprinted directly from the original PASSMORE & ALABASTER edition, which was the publisher of Spurgeon's works during his lifetime. Mr. Joseph Passmore himself was a member of Spurgeon's church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle.

As Mrs. C. H. Spurgeon stated in the AUTOBIOGRAPHY, "If he had never written anything else, this set would have been a permanent literary memorial." We urge you to purchase the PILGRIM edition, not only due to the ORIGINAL 7-Volume format (with Introduction by Eric Hayden) but also for the excellent quality clothbound bindings and strong paper used for this set. Other published editions have cheaper cost, but with "bible-thin" paper and weak hardback bindings.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the "Prince of Preachers," composed and polished The Treasury of David over the span of nearly half his ministry. This incomparable commentary on the Psalms has always been highly prized by Christians. Spurgeon's own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful, and by itself it would have been rich enough for posterity. But there's much more in The Treasury of David. You'll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators — contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Preachers and teachers will appreciate the homiletical hints on almost every verse, concise sermon outlines, and provocative seed thoughts. Useful bibliographies and an index of authors offer more practical help. Whether you're teaching on the Psalms, studying them for personal devotions, or simply intrigued by the writings of Spurgeon, you'll enjoy this splendid classic.

"After all, there is a Protestantism still worth contending for, there is a Calvinism still worth proclaiming, and a gospel well worth dying for" (CH Spurgeon)

Besides John Calvin who I now view as one of the greatest theologians in the history of Christianity I have come to greatly admire CH Spurgeon. I only became a Protestant in 2006 and was born again in the Reformed faith in 2007.I am now a Reformed Presbyterian Protestant however I was a Roman catholic. Spurgeon has helped me appreciate and find deeper meaning as to what it means to be a Protestant and how important the Protestant reformation was and continues to be in the 21st century.

In grace,
Dudley

I found this http://tentmakerpublications.com/con...egory=4&id=164 that purports to have a commentary by Spurgeon on every book of the NT.

--EDIT--
On further examination, it may be commentaries he recommended not of his own making. Most likely from the Commenting on Commentaries book. Sorry for the likely false alarm.

To all my brothers and sisters oin the PB,

I just read today that Pilgrim Publications will be releasing the following new book on unpublished sermons by Spurgeon.

NEW BOOK OF SPURGEON'S "UNPUBLISHED SERMONS"
MADE AVAILABLE [09/26--2009]

A few months ago, I notified you of a book of C. H. Spurgeon's collected "unpublished" sermons which was being prepared. Now I have been informed by the publisher in England that the book will be available in the United States very shortly. We plan to stock the book and will be happy to fill any orders from our readers.

For years, we have often had inquiries about any of C. H. Spurgeon's sermons which were not published in the New Park Street Pulpit--Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit 63-volume set. It is a joy for us to announce that this new hardback book of 672 pages of such sermons has become available.

In faith and good reading,
Dudley

My wife bought me an 19th century edition of Spurgeon's Expository Encyclopedia (20 volumes) published by the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work. It is comprised mainly of his sermons loosely grouped into topics. But interspersed throughout are expositions of short passages of scripture and not all from the Psalms! They are wonderful to read but, maddeningly, the set has no index! The table of contents doesn't even include page numbers! Trying to find a particular exposition is literally like trying to find a needle in a 20 volume haystack. For example there is an exposition of Jer 9:1-26 immediately after his sermon, "God's People Melted And Tired" from Jer 9:7. But you don't know these things are there unless you read each volume cover to cover.

If I ever get the time I am going to index the thing myself.

Don't bother buying it from Pilgrim, get it direct in the USA from Day One Publications. I proof read the volume last summer and I have a complimentary copy here now, it is great. Much easier to read than the old works.
