Thomas Breimaier

Tethered to the Cross unveils the deeply rooted philosophy of the "Price of Preachers," Charles H. Spurgeon. For nearly forty years, Spurgeon commanded the pulpit at London's bustling Metropolitan Tabernacle, where his sermons became legendary. But what made his scriptural insights so transformational?
Theologian and historian Thomas Breimaier takes us on an enlightening exploration of Spurgeon's profound interpretative technique. Breimaier reveals how Spurgeon, with unwavering focus, read every passage of Scripture through the lens of the cross of Christ. This cross-centered approach was not merely a method but a mission—a passionate crusade to convert unbelievers through the power of the gospel. With Breimaier as our insightful guide, we are invited to experience the enduring impact of Spurgeon's teachings, learning how to anchor our own understanding of Scripture in the life-changing power of the cross.
Spurgeon's commitment to preaching Christ and him crucified extended beyond the walls of his church, making his life a testament to the enduring strength and relevance of Christianity's central message. Through Tethered to the Cross, we are inspired to pursue a similar depth of conviction, influencing our communities with the same passion and purpose that characterized Spurgeon's ministry.
