Synopsis

Clear, concise, and penetrating, Practical Religion contains a series of writings about the daily duties, dangers, experiences, and privileges of all who profess and call themselves true Christians. Ryle explains that a “practical religion” is not a religion of works but rather one in which those who are saved can put their faith into practice.
