Subtitle	An Anthology of Quotations from J. C. Ryle

In the writings of J. C. Ryle (1816–1900), generations of readers have found faithful biblical wisdom and searching applications that aim at the heart. As the compiler of this anthology notes, ‘if there were two things that stand out like jewels in his crown, they were Ryle’s unflagging determination to tell us the terrible truth about ourselves, and to point us to Jesus.’

This topical guide to Ryle’s voluminous writings will provide a taste of his method and style, and will serve as a signpost to the different books from which these quotations have been drawn. For those already familiar with Ryle, it will serve as a reminder of the timeless wisdom and practical insights which were characteristic of his written ministry.

Ryle’s pastoral heart is evident throughout this anthology—he was a man whose habit was to speak the truth in love. As J. I. Packer observed, ‘his down-to-earth illustrations and rhetorical emphases gave a sense of the drama, the dangers, the challenges, glories and joys of life under the eye and the hand of the God of the gospel.’

Topics are arranged in alphabetical order, and cover a sizeable range of biblical, doctrinal, pastoral, and historical themes. A bibliography provides readers with information on sources and further reading.
