Publisher's Synopsis
The Evangelical principles on which Bishop Ryle's life and work were based are unequivocally stated in Old Paths, one of Ryle's earliest but greatest books, in which he cuts through later accretions to get to the heart of the Christian message. These are plain statements on some of the weightier matters of Christianity, an exposition of theology for the ordinary reader: scholarly but not obscure; thorough but not tedious; clear but not simplistic. Ryle deals with the crucial issues of belief and practice straightforwardly, with an authority that is rooted in his own sure knowledge of the Scriptures, and the strength and charity of his own faith shine through every word he writes.
