Warnings to the Churches

---

The ambiguity and obscurity of statements from religious leaders today often confuse ordinary Christians. J. C. Ryle's writings were of a different character. His outspoken comments can still help us towards clear Bible-based convictions.

The church's doctrine and practice are in constant danger of being corrupted from their original divinely-given character. Seeing this, Ryle felt compelled to utter a warning, however controversial this might prove. As he observes, 'There are times when controversy is... a benefit. Give me the mighty thunderstorm rather than the pestilential malaria. The one walks in darkness and poisons us in silence... The other frightens and alarms us for a little season. But it is soon over, and it clears the air' (p. 111).

Strong convictions and clarity of expression always mark Ryle's writings. Nowhere is this more evident than in the addresses and articles brought together as Warnings to the Churches.

JOHN CHARLES RYLE (1816-1900), was the first Bishop of Liverpool, a prolific writer and an ardent defender of the Protestant character of the Church of England. More than a hundred years after his death, his writings still speak powerfully to Christians today. Many of his best works have been. republished by the Banner of Truth Trust.
