Book Foreword
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) hardly needs an introduction, as his best-known works have been reissued and widely read over many years.

His uncompromising stand for evangelical doctrine and scriptural holiness often made him unpopular with those who favoured new ideas and superficial practices. Those same virtues, however, make this work and his other writings as relevant today as ever they were, and they are equally evident in these sermons. . .
