John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) began his service to the Lord as a minister of the Gospel. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, was ordained in 1841, and became a leader of the evangelical party in the Church of England. Ryle labored in parish churches within the Church of England for almost forty years. In 1880 he was designated dean of Salisbury and then became the First Bishop of Liverpool. He stayed in that role until 1900, shortly before his death.
Ryle came to international prominence as preacher, Bible expositor, and author. Today he is best known for his plain and lively writings on practical and spiritual themes. He deliberately used this style to reach ordinary people. The great aim of his ministry was to encourage strong and serious Christian living. His tracts and books sold in the millions in the late 1800s. Many of these have been republished in modern times. Ryle has been noted for his doctrinal essays and polemical writings. His bestselling titles include Expository Thoughts on Mark and Holiness: Its Nature, Hindrances, Difficulties and Roots which can both be found in the J. C. Ryle Collection (18 vols.). He also contributed three volumes in the Crossway Classic Commentary Collection (13 vols.).
