Section: Christianity-General

J. C. Ryle (1816–1900) was a faithful evangelical Christian, a prolific writer, and a bishop of Liverpool. His books Holiness and Practical Religion have never been out of print. This present book was originally entitled The Christian leaders of the Last Century; or England 100 Years Ago (it was published in 1869) and came about as a result of the biographies it includes being written as a series. His intention in the release of the book was more than recounting lives such as those of George Whitefield, Henry Venn, William Grimshaw, Daniel Rowland, and others. This edition has been lightly modernised and references which would confuse the modern reader have been updated.
