Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Book of Nature
Abstract
This article explores how C. H. Spurgeon—one of England's most influential Victorian preachers—approached creation both as the Temple of God and as a means of communicating biblical truths. Spurgeon loved nature, however manifested, and for him, the natural world proclaimed the majesty and glory of God. He considered that to despise the creative work of God was, in a sense, to despise God himself. Not only was he captivated by creation, but he also transformed it into vivid parables and interpreted it as a channel for divine messages. The study highlights two key aspects of Spurgeon’s engagement with nature. The first part examines how C. H. Spurgeon relates to nature, indicating its role in glorifying the majesty of God while also considering creation as the Temple of God. The second part explores how the images offered by nature become models for the transmission of his teachings.
