The Life and Ministry of J. C. Ryle

Today we welcome Iain H. Murray to the program to discuss his new biography, J. C. Ryle: Prepared to Stand Alone . In 1957, Rev. Murray co-founded the Banner of Truth Trust . Ryle (1816–1900) was the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool. He was an ardent defender of Evangelicalism in the face of opposition on several fronts, including the growing Anglo-Catholic movement within his own ecclesiastical context. J. C. Ryle had a gift for clear communication to the working class, and his legacy of exhortation and evangelism continues to speak volumes today. Participants: Camden Bucey , Iain Murray , Jeff Waddington
