Synopsis

Old Paths is a collection of nineteen of J. C. Ryle’s most effective tracts on the leading truths of Christianity, which are, as he says, “necessary to salvation.” In including in such a series Inspiration, Election, and Perseverance, he allows that good Christians have disagreed and will still disagree about them, but he inserts them nevertheless on account of the immense importance of the first and the extraordinary neglect into which the last two have fallen. Ryle’s racy style, plainspokenness, and good taste are sure to secure your affection and hold your attention.

He is practical, down to earth, and never fails to make a strong case for the authority of scripture. I would......more

Goodreads review by Michael

A book to keep the faithful in Christ grounded and encouraged, and a very important read for every brother or sister in Christ, the chapter that impacted me the most is "Few Saved". If you are a true believer, you will walk away after reading this book having a more sound standing with Christ and be......more

Goodreads review by Becky

First sentence: THE volume now in the reader’s hands consists of a series of papers, systematically arranged, on the leading truths of Christianity which are “necessary to salvation.” J.C. Ryle's Old Paths is a must read for believers. If I were to put a hashtag on the book it would be #alwaysrelevan......more

Goodreads review by Chase

Ryle’s gospel centered-ness comes through crystal clear in this volume. The simple and plain truths of the gospel are expounded with his usual clarity and profoundness.
