Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

Tabernacle is a large Reformed Baptist church in the Elephant and Castle
in London. It was the largest church edifice of its day in 1861 and can
be considered a precursor to the modern "megachurch." The Tabernacle
Fellowship have been worshipping together since 1650, soon after the
sailing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Its first pastor was William Rider, and
many notable others have filled the position since, including Benjamin
Keach, Dr. John Gill, Dr. John Rippon, and C. H. Spurgeon. The
Tabernacle still worships and holds to its historical principles under
its present pastor, Dr. Peter Masters.
