From the Publisher

"Knots Untied" is the first book in a four volume series written by J.C. Ryle; the other titles being "Practical Religion," "Old Paths," and "Holiness."

While most people are usually familiar with the latter three (especially "Holiness"), "Knots Untied" has for the most part fallen by the wayside. The irony here is that "Knots" went through ten editions in its first eleven years, and to this day many consider it to be J.C. Ryle's magnum opus!

Because “Knots” is a systematic defense of confessional Christianity, as opposed to the chaos which marks the modern church, perhaps it could be argued that its fall in popularity is simply a reflection of contemporary Christians’ antagonism to orthodoxy. However this may be, one thing is certain: “Knots Untied” is a remarkable witness for the evangelical faith—a witness that if heeded could only benefit the Church.
