[[Charles Haddon Spurgeon]] was an English Particular Baptist preacher in the Reformed Baptist tradition, who was nicknamed the "Prince of Preachers". He was pastor of the New York Street Chapel, later known as Metropolitan Tabernacle. He founded [[Spurgeon's College , London, England|Spurgeon's College]] for pastors, which was named after him posthumously. Many books have been written by and about him, and perhaps no non-PB preacher is more proliferate in PB writings.
He was a strong critic of the Exclusive Brethren, and an equally passionate friend of the Open Brethren, although both include articles by him in their various publications.
