BISHOP J C RYLES AUTOBIOG
John Charles Ryle (1816-1900), first Bishop of Liverpool, was one of the most influential evangelical clergymen of the nineteenth century. A popular platform speaker and prolific tract writer, his books are still widely read across the globe. Edited by Andrew Atherstone, this critical edition of Ryle's manuscript autobiography, dictated in 1873, is a rich and unparalleled account of the early decades of his life and ministry. He recalls his youthful pursuit of academic plaudits and sporting prowess at Eton College and Oxford University, before his evangelical conversion at the age of 21. He tells of the devastating collapse of the family bank and the enforced sale of their Cheshire estates, which ended his ambitions to enter parliament. Ryle describes his exploits as a young clergyman, his loves and losses, his evangelical networks, and the deaths of his first two wives. He offers a frank assessment of his joys and struggles, and the reasons behind his crucial life choices.
J.C. Ryle
The Church totters. Arguments rage over liturgy, and the role of women. Congregations struggle with increasing financial pressures, while clergy numbers decline. There is confusion over moral issues, especially sexual behavior. Areas of inner cities are effectively untouched by the gospel. You may recognise this as a picture of the western church at the beginning of the twenty-first century, but it is a description of the Church of England in which J. C. Ryle ministered as the first Bishop of Liverpool over a hundred years ago. Ian Farley analyses and assesses the life and work of J. C. Ryle, and through him the evangelicism of the last decades of the nineteenth century. A thematic critique rather than a biography, it highlights important parallels with the modern era and offers challenging insights to the church today.

Christian Leaders of the Seventeenth Century
Bishop JC Ryle reminds us, in these five pen portraits, of some of the most significant church leaders in the tumultuous seventeenth century. He begins with the anti-hero, Archbishop Laud, deeply flawed but hugely significant. Then he turns to look at a puritan who preached his heart out in an Anglican pulpit (Samuel Ward), a puritan who was ejected from the Church of England (Richard Baxter), and one who happily conformed after 1662 (William Gurnall). Finally, he explores the life and legacy of seven courageous bishops who took a stand against a tyrannical state in revolutionary days. These insightful and fiery essays by Bishop Ryle are brought together for the first time in this insightful volume introduced by Lee Gatiss.
