Produktbeschreibung
J. C. Ryle's life changed dramatically in 1841 when the collapse of his father's bank forced him to support himself as an Anglican curate. The evangelical faith he had found at university did not founder however and over the next fifty nine years he became a prominent and influential preacher and eventually the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool. The tenaciousness and astuteness of this faith often led him to challenge the complacency of his day. Holiness (1877) is an explanation of an often misunderstood aspect of Christian life - arguing that faith alone is only a part of what it means to be a Christian. 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.
Autorenporträt
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics, but due to lack of funds, he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller, and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and Luther. These all influenced Ryle's understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy, where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled, preached, and wrote more than 300 pamphlets, tracts, and books, including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Principles for Churchmen, and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father's debts, but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900.
