SynopsisI cannot forget that the early Christians of the first four centuries turned the world upside down with their doctrine, emptied the heathen temples of their worshippers, stopped the bloody gladiatorial combats, confounded the Greek and Roman philosophers, gave a new position to women and children, and raised the moral standard of all Europe. And yet they had none of our many advantages; no printed books, no Cathedrals or grand churches, no Religious Societies and no subscription lists! But they had that which we seem 10 lack in 1897-the real presence of the Holy Spirit in their work, their preaching, their characters, and their lives. This was the secret of their power! That is what we want among us at the end of the nineteenth century-more prayer, closer union with Christ, more of the real presence of God the Holy Ghost! Book jacket., A man of good scholarship, sterling character, wide sympathies, and tremendous zeal, J. C. Ryle accounted it no light thing to be entrusted with the work of organizing and advancing the cause of God and truth in a diocese noted for its extensive industrial development and in a city of world fame. As a man of God he gave unfeigned allegiance to the plenary inspiration of Holy Scripture. Linked with this was his determination to strive for the maintenance of the Protestant character of the Church of England as by law established in the days of the sixteenth-century Reformation. Doctrine, experience, and practice based upon and shaped by the pure word of God were to him the essentials of the ongoing life of the Church. In the Liverpool Diocese Ryle faced a formidable task. Called to it at the age of sixty-five, Ryle laboured in season and out of season with untiring pertinacity. To present-day readers he will chiefly be known through his expository and biographical writings. The Charges and Addresses here brought together show how he laboured to educate the clergy of his diocese in biblical principles and to impress upon them the vast importance of maintaining evangelical doctrine and practice in their varied ministries and contacts.
