The Ryle Anthology
Doctrine – Theology by
J. C. Ryle
J.C. Ryle was famously known as “the man of granite with the heart of a child.” He was a minister within the church of England for almost four decades. He also became Bishop of Liverpool in 1880. This anthology compiles his 15 sermons, including three evangelistic tracts and chapters from his books. Ryle gained international prominence as an author, preacher, and Bible expositor. He wrote about practical and spiritual themes and is best known today for his plain and lively writing that reached ordinary people. His written works sold millions of copies during his lifetime, and many had been republished in modern times. The primary objective of his ministry was to encourage strong and serious Christian living, and his written works carry the same inspiration as well. May we acquire a new force in living as we read them.
