Synopsis

The “Inspiration” of the Bible.

  • What do we mean when we say the Bible is inspired by God? 

  • What makes the Bible so different from any other book about God?

  • How was the Bible written? 

  • Where did it come from ... Heaven? or of man? 

  • To what extent is God’s word really God’s Word? 

    More importantly….How do the answers to these questions impact the way we live? 
    In this discourse, Bishop Ryle gives us some plain statements on one of the weightier matters of Christianity. First written almost 150 years ago, we are fortunate that JC Ryles' writings live on. Not only was he sound in the major doctrines, but his writings still speak today. Regardless of where you are in your journey, the "seasoned saint," or the “seeker,” Ryles’ discourse offers insight for all.

About the Author

John Charles Ryle was born in 1816 at Macclesfield and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He was a fine athlete who rowed and played Cricket for Oxford. He was spiritually awakened in 1838 while hearing Ephesians 2 read in church. He was ordained in 1842. For 38 years he was a parish vicar, first at Helmingham and later at Stradbrooke, in Suffolk. In 1880, at age 64, he became the first bishop of Liverpool, at the recommendation of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. In his diocese, he exercised a vigorous and straightforward preaching ministry. Ryle combined his commanding presence and vigorous advocacy of his principles with graciousness and warmth in his personal relations. Vast numbers of working men and women attended his special preaching meetings, and many were led to faith in Christ. He retired in 1900 at age 84 and died later the same year.
