This inspiring call to action from J. C. Ryle explains why the
fight for holiness is one of absolute necessity, identifying the
three main enemies of every believer. Part of the Crossway Short
Classics series.
J. C. Ryle, accepted as one of the foremost Bible teachers of the
last 200 years, turns his attention to the future. He investigates
the nature of biblical prophecy, signs of the End Times, the Second
Coming of Christ and the future state of the Church. He is careful
not to push his interpretation of the texts, purposefully avoiding
anything that can be called speculative or conjectural. Ryle
analyses 8 passages and gives an 11-point summary of his
prophetical creed.
Now with a new foreword by John MacArthur.
J.C. Ryle's "Holiness" has imparted a standing challenge to
Christians for 130 years. In this new, slimmed-down series of
excerpts from Ryle's masterwork, we aim to present his original
message to a whole new generation. Holiness, Ryle argued, was not
simply a matter of believing and feeling, but of "doing."
J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
J. C. Ryle, the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool, is renowned to
this day for his simple and powerful preaching. His words carry a
strength and boldness, yet they are filled with love and pastoral
care. His writing has not only endured, but remains popular,
showing him as a master of practical Christianity. This volume, The
Upper Room, is a collection of his writings, and each stands alone
in its power and usefulness. In fact, several of the entries
within, such as Duties of Parents, and Thoughts for Young Men, have
been published independently as separate booklets, in order to more
widely distribute their usefulness. The quality and poignancy of
Ryle's writings keep him relevant and desirable even today. For the
Christian who desires to grow, no better voice could be heard than
the old bishop of Liverpool.
J. C. Ryle's Holiness is often considered the finest book on
Christian life ever been written. "The twenty papers contained in
this volume are a humble contribution to a cause which is exciting
much interest in the present day - I mean the cause of scriptural
holiness. It is a cause which everyone who loves Christ, and
desires to advance His kingdom in the world, should endeavor to
help forward. Everyone can do something, and I wish to add my mite.
"The reader will find little that is directly controversial in
these papers. I have carefully abstained from naming modern
teachers and modern books. I have been content to give the result
of my own study of the Bible, my own private meditations, my own
prayers for light, and my own reading of old divines. If in
anything I am still in error, I hope I shall be shown it before I
leave the world. We all see in part, and have a treasure in earthen
vessels. I trust I am willing to learn. "It is my heart's desire,
and prayer to God daily, that personal holiness may increase
greatly among professing Christians in England. But I trust that
all who endeavor to promote it will adhere closely to the
proportion of Scripture, will carefully distinguish things that
differ, and will separate "the precious from the vile." (Jeremiah
15:19.)"
