Alex DiPrima: Spurgeon and Social Activism - EP 103

Was Spurgeon a socialist? What did he believe about the church's responsibility in social activism? And what can we learn from him? Dr. Alex DiPrima joins us to discuss. Dr. DiPrima is senior pastor of Emmanuel Church in Winston Salem, NC, and he holds a PhD from Southeastern in historical theology with a focus on the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He’s the author of the new book, 'Spurgeon and the Poor: How the Gospel Compels Christian Social Concern.' (The conversation begins at 16:35)   Plus, in “Headlines” (1:20), Benjamin Quinn speaks with pastor and Southeastern alum Merrick Nunn about the ongoing debate about Michael Jordan vs. Lebron James — and what we can learn from the conversation about healthy debates. And in “On My Bookshelf” (44:45), Dr. Brad Hambrick recommends a book from Miroslav Volf. - Learn more about Dr. DiPrima's book: https://www.heritagebooks.org/products/spurgeon-and-the-poor-diprima.html Visit our website: cfc.sebts.edu/ Support the work of the Center: cfc.sebts.edu/about/give/
