The Saint and His Saviour
C. H. Spurgeon · The Saint and His Saviour: The Progress of the Soul in the Knowledge of Jesus
About this book
The Saint and His Saviour: The Progress of the Soul in the Knowledge of Jesus was written by Charles Haddon Spurgeon and first published in 1883 by the Rose Publishing Company, Toronto. Its epigraph is Paul's word to the Colossians: “Christ is all” (Col. iii. 11), and the whole book unfolds that text — tracing the believer's path from a stranger's first, cold acquaintance with Jesus through to settled, joyful communion with him.
Twelve chapters follow the soul's progress: from The Despised Friend and Faithful Wounds, through pardon, joy, and completeness in Christ, to seasons when the Saviour seems to hide his face, and on to Communion Preserved. Spurgeon closes every chapter with a short, direct evangelistic word of his own headed “To the Unconverted Reader” — a distinctive feature of this book, preserved here after each chapter exactly as in the original. This UECF.NET web edition follows the 1883 Rose Publishing Company (Toronto) printing digitized by the University of Alberta Libraries via Canadiana.org, and preserves its chapter order, titles, Scripture epigraphs, quotations, and wording; obvious scanning (OCR) errors have been corrected against the sense of the text.
