Description: Fellow Baptists of Hyper-Calvinistic persuasion condemned Spurgeon for believing that Calvinistic orthodoxy could be held along with 'impassioned appeal to every sinner to come to Christ and be saved'. Iain Murray elaborates the issues involved. All men are equally condemned in sin but, for reasons unknown to us and to the praise of his grace, God does not deal equally with those who are equally undeserving. The testimony of Scripture ought to be unmistakable: ‘as many as were ordained to eternal life believed’ (Acts 13:48).

But does the denial of Arminianism mean that God has no love for all? That Christ is not to be proclaimed as the Saviour in whom all are called to trust? Does the particularity of grace mean that there can be no universal entreaties, no gospel for ‘every creature’?

Hyper-Calvinism answers ‘Yes’ to these questions and in so doing it constitutes a serious hindrance to the progress of the gospel. In Spurgeon v. Hyper-Calvinism, Iain H. Murray provides a strong accounting of how Spurgeon could both oppose Arminian thinking and be a resolute opponent of Hyper-Calvinism.

Robert Shindler, who knew Spurgeon from 1855, could affirm in 1892: “Mr. Spurgeon, with all his strong attachment to truths which relate to divine sovereignty – and he has ever been bold and unflinching in his proclamation of them – has always presented the other side, the call of the gospel to all who hear it”. In an important comment in the Sword and the Trowel Shindler, himself a pastor among the Baptists from 1850, wrote of the effect of Spurgeon’s stand for ‘evangelical’ Calvinistic preaching from the mid – 1850’s as he had observed it. Shindler’s own congregation was at that date on the Hyper-Calvinistic side until Spurgeon came to New Park Street.

Should be read side-by-side with Murray's earlier work, The Forgotten Spurgeon which shows Spurgeon's battle against Arminianism. The two books expose the extremes of both hyper-calvinism and Arminianism while upholding the biblical balance othewise know as Calvinism.
