The Sword and Trowel: 1865–1884

The Sword and the Trowel, the monthly magazine edited by Spurgeon, began publication in 1865. It contains articles, tracts, poetry, and book reviews, along with regular statistics and detailed reports and reflections on his sermons. Most importantly, The Sword and the Trowel provides a rich source of biographical material on Charles Spurgeon and the context of his ministry. It is an illuminating inside look at the week-to-week happenings at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. The Logos Bible Software edition of The Sword and Trowel  (20 Vols.) was originally published in London by Passmore and Alabaster from 1865–1884.
