THE POWER OF THE PULPIT: Addresses to Ministers of the Gospel and Those Who Hear Them
Gardiner Spring
"Gardiner Spring's 'The Power of the Pulpit' is an old classic on preaching that truly believes in the pulpit. It deserves to stand on every minister's bookshelf beside Spurgeon's 'Lectures to my Students' and Lloyd-Jones's 'Preaching.' I'll never forget the first time I read Spring's chapter on a minister's personal piety; it overwhelmed me, and moved me to tears, to silence, to confession, and to prayer for mercy and help. This is a great book which every minister should read and re-read, if he really wants to get a sense of the magnitude, awesomeness, power, and beauty of his calling." - Dr. Joel R. Beeke
"In a day when the words 'power' and 'pulpit' seem unrelated in many places, the reprint of Gardiner Spring's classic will be welcome by those who wish to see the gospel preached 'in demonstration of the Spirit and power.'" - Dr. Robert P. Martin, Pastor of Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church Seattle, Washington and Editor of Reformed Baptist Theological Review
It has been 21 years since Banner of Truth brought this outstanding volume back into print. It is now time for a new edition for a new generation of preachers and those who hear them.

BIO SKETCH
GARDINER SPRING (1785-1873) was the son of the Rev. Samuel Spring, D.D., and was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, February 24th, 1785. He graduated at Yale College, in 1805. He spent fifteen months as a classical and mathematical teacher, on the island of Bermuda, at the same time pursuing the study of law. For a short time he practiced law in New Haven, Connecticut. Determining to enter the ministry, he entered Andover Theological Seminary, and after eight months’ study he was licensed to preach the gospel. On the 8th of August, 1810, he was installed pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church in the city of New York. There he continued for more than half a century.
During his long and useful pastorate, he continually used the press as an auxiliary to the preaching of the gospel. Among the more important works which he published are: the "Life of Samuel J. Mills" (1820); "The Sabbath a Blessing to Man," "Internal Evidences of Inspiration" (1826): a "Dissertaion on the Means of Regeneration" (1827); "Fragments from the Study of a Pastor" "The Obligations of the World to the Bible," "The Attractions of the Cross," "the Bible not of Man," "The Power of the Pulpit," "The Mercy Seat," "The Contrast" (1855); "The Mission of Sorrow" (1862); and "Pulpit Ministrations" (1864). Dr. Spring was a graceful and vigorous writer, and some of his works beside their popularity at home, were republished abroad.
