In 1887 C.H. Spurgeon launched what forever became known as the Downgrade Controversy. He would take on the Baptist Union of England over the issue of the infallibility of the Bible in a battle that would continue from 1887 until his death in 1892. This paper provides an account of the controversy as seen through the eyes of C.H. Spurgeon who has gone into history as "The Prince of Preachers."
