Old Paths, BEING PLAIN STATEMENTS ON SOME OF THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF CHRISTIANITY

It was the prophet Jeremiah who first used the expression ‘old paths’ and assured those who followed them that they would find ‘rest for (their) souls’ (Jeremiah 6:16).

J.C. Ryle was of the same conviction and wrote: ‘The longer I live the more I am convinced that the world needs no new Gospel, as some profess to think. I am thoroughly persuaded that the world needs nothing but bold, full, unflinching teaching of the “old paths”.’

Ryle is a no non-sense teacher. When he approaches a topic, he will leave no loose ends, cover it plainly & always end with an exhortation. This is actually a compilation of tracts that he wrote throughout his ministry on the more serious matters of Christianity. I appreciate being able to sit under his firm stance & learn from him. He certainly is an old fashioned evangelical. This book is the closest thing to a systematic of written tracts by him. It is perfect for setting a foundation on the plain ideas of the New Testament and salvation. I don’t flinch to recommend anything written by him. He may not be one of the great theologians but he is definitely a man of strong convictions. Cole Mayhugh
