Ryle offers no easy way to holiness but produces that "hunger and thirst after righteousness", which is the only indispensable condition to being "filled."

An essential guide to the Christian life. 

 

J.C. Ryle's method is obvious--scriptural and expository. He never starts with a theory into which he fits scriptures. He always begins with the Word and expounds it clearly and logically. The result is a clear enunciation of doctrine and a call to action and is entirely free from the sentimentality often described as "devotional." He has drunk deeply from the wells of the Puritans, and his writing is a distillation of true Puritan theology presented in a highly readable modern form. Ryle offers no easy way to holiness but produces that "hunger and thirst after righteousness", which is the only indispensable condition to being "filled."  Holiness is an essential guide to the Christian life.

 

John Charles Ryle (1816 -1900) was a committed evangelical and the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool.  He wrote numerous tracts and books, many still in print.   His sermons and writings on subjects as diverse as happiness and good preaching are as wise, challenging and relevant as they were in his day.
