Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a famous Baptist minister who ministered in nineteenth-century London, based at a church called the Metropolitan Tabernacle that still houses Christian worship today. In 1869, Spurgeon published a book titled John Ploughman’s Talk containing twenty-four essays explained by its subtitle Plain Advice for Plain People. It was a compilation of essays from a magazine The Sword and the Trowel that he began in 1865 (Buckland, 1898). In so doing, Spurgeon systematised the kind of practical wisdom that any well-meaning person would want to pass on to their friends and family. The world’s technology has dramatically changed since 1869 but the gospel of Jesus Christ remains the same (Heb. 13:8). Kaloxys is inspired by this nineteenth-century book and aims to be a systematised online wiki of plain advice for those living more than one hundred and fifty years after the first publication of John Ploughman’s Talk.
