Holiness

J.C. Ryle (1816-1900)

J.C. Ryle examines sanctification not as an experience to be claimed but as a lifelong pursuit demanding the mortification of sin and active obedience to God. Written in part against the quietist tendencies of the rising Keswick movement, it defends a Reformed understanding of growth in grace grounded in Scripture and pastoral realism. Ryle was the most influential Anglican evangelical of his generation, and this remains his most widely read theological work.
