The Sword and the Trowel — May, 1865 (A Pilgrim's Coffer Theology Edition)

"A Record of Combat with Sin & Labour for the Lord."

This is a newly re-typeset edition of C. H. Spurgeon's beloved monthly magazine, The Sword and the Trowel, originally published in 1865 by Passmore & Alabaster. First printed in 2026 by A Pilgrim's Coffer Theology, this faithful reproduction brings Spurgeon's own words back into print in a clean, readable format for a new generation of readers.

Each monthly issue is packed with Spurgeon's characteristic boldness and pastoral warmth — featuring original articles, sermons, and addresses written or compiled by Spurgeon himself. True to its subtitle, the magazine addresses both the defense of sound doctrine (the Sword) and the practical building up of Christ's church (the Trowel), covering topics such as evangelism, Christian living, church ministry, and the urgency of the gospel.

Whether you collect all twelve issues or select your favorite month, these publications offer an unfiltered window into the mind and ministry of the "Prince of Preachers" at the height of his influence at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.
