John Charles Ryle

John Charles Ryle (1816–1900) war ein englischer Geistlicher, Autor und der erste anglikanische Bischof von Liverpool. Als Vertreter des evangelikalen Flügels der Church of England wandte er sich gegen den Anglo-Katholizismus sowie den theologischen Liberalismus und betonte die Autorität der Heiligen Schrift sowie die Notwendigkeit praktischer Heiligung. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnen seine Auslegungen und Schriften als leicht verständliche, seelsorgerliche Texte mit reformatorischem Schwerpunkt auf der Rechtfertigung allein aus Glauben.
