Expository Thoughts on the Gospel of John [Annotated. Updated]: A Commentary

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. ? John 1:1Wisdom encouragement and exhortation is contained in these pages. Not because of the author's brilliance but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of John. And just as the Apostle John didn't draw any attention to himself so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts towards the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God we will love His word; and the more study His word the more we will love God. About the AuthorJohn Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics but due to lack of funds he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon Moody Mueller and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley Bunyan Knox Calvin and Luther. These all influenced Ryle?s understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled preached and wrote more than 300 pamphlets tracts and books including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels Principles for Churchmen and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father?s debts but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900.
