Produktbeschreibung
J. C. Ryle's classic guide for Christians, wherein he outlines the principles of sin, sanctification, spiritual growth and the importance of Christ is published here complete. The spiritual excellence displayed in J. C. Ryle's writings cannot be underestimated: a lengthy introduction tells us the seven aspirations which Ryle holds when teaching his fellow Christian. Delving into great detail to explain each aim, and supporting his statements by citing scripture, the author displays an impressive devotion both to the Lord and to all believers who choose to read his words. Moses is identified as being foremost among God's saints, standing among the best examples of men ever lived. His surrender of a high ranked position, his abstentious attitude to worldly pleasures and wealth, and his opting for an ascetic life full of hardships and pain in service of the Lord are mentioned. Moses' followers were despised by others, yet he took up and ultimately proved their cause.
Autorenporträt
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduó de Eton y Oxford en Inglaterra y quería seguir una carrera en la política. Pero debido a la falta de fondos, entró en el clero de la Iglesia de Inglaterra. Era contemporáneo de Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller y Taylor. Además, leyó los libros de los grandes teológicos como Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin y Lutero. Todos éstos influyeron a Ryle y contribuyeron a su entendimiento y teología. Ryle empezó a escribir primero un librito informativo después de que ocurrió la tragedia del puente colgante Great Yarmouth, donde se ahogaron más de cien almas. Se reconocía como predicador directo y por predicar el evangelismo. Viajaba, predicaba, y escribió más de 300 folletos, libritos informativos y otros libros, incluso Pensamientos expositivos de los evangelios (Expository Thoughts on the Gospels) y Líderes cristianos del siglo XVIII (Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century). Aunque usó sus ganancias de autor para pagar las deudas de bancarrota de su padre, consideró esa ruina la voluntad de Dios porque cambió la dirección de su vida. El primer ministro Benjamín Disraeli recomendó que fuera designado el Obispo de Liverpool donde cumplió este puesto hasta 1900.
