John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was an English clergyman, theologian, and writer, primarily known for his evangelical Protestant views and his efforts in promoting the doctrines of the Anglican church. Born in Macclesfield, Cheshire, he was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, before embarking on a career in ministry that would span many decades. In his lifetime, Ryle became a prominent figure in the Church of England, eventually being appointed the first Bishop of Liverpool in 1880, a position he held until his death. His written works tend to reflect his evangelical convictions, emphasizing the importance of scriptural authority and personal faith in Jesus Christ. Ryle's style was characteristically earnest and direct, aimed at being accessible to the common reader while providing doctrinal precision and encouraging practical Christian living. Among his many works, 'A Sketch of the Life and Labors of George Whitefield' (1865) is notable for its biographical detail and the affection with which he treats the subject, the famous evangelist George Whitefield. The book contributes not only to hagiography but also to the understanding of evangelical history in the 18th century, characterizing Whitefield as a formidable and passionate preacher of the Gospel. Ryle's legacy includes a corpus of writings that continue to be read by those interested in evangelical history and Anglican theology, making his contributions to Christian literature of lasting significance.
