Heb je zekerheid?

by J.C. Ryle, P.J. de Gier (Translator)

Velen gaan trouw naar de kerk en zijn intensief bezig met de zaken van Gods koninkrijk, maar missen toch de zekerheid van het geloof. De bekende Engelse prediker J.C. Ryle wijst in dit boek aan waar deze zekerheid gezocht moet worden. Verder gaat hij in op de oorzaken die het vinden van deze zekerheid in de weg kunnen staan. Hij besluit het boek met een groot aantal citaten, tot troost en bemoediging van hen die geloofszekerheid zoeken. Een indringend boek dat het waard is gelezen en herlezen te worden.

About the author

(John Charles Ryle) Ryle started his ministry as curate at the Chapel of Ease in Exbury, Hampshire, moving on to become rector of St Thomas's, Winchester in 1843 and then rector of Helmingham, Suffolk the following year. While at Helmingham he married and was widowed twice. He began publishing popular tracts, and Matthew, Mark and Luke of his series of Expository Thoughts on the Gospels were published in successive years (1856-1858). His final parish was Stradbroke, also in Suffolk, where he moved in 1861, and it was as vicar of All Saints that he became known nationally for his straightforward preaching and firm defence of evangelical principles. He wrote several well-known and still-in-print books, often addressing issues of contemporary relevance for the Church from a biblical standpoint. He completed his Expository Thoughts on the Gospels while at Stradbroke, with his work on the Gospel of John (1869). His third marriage, to Henrietta Amelia Clowes in 1861, lasted until her death in 1889.
