{"product_id":"christian-leaders-of-the-eighteenth-century-507437","title":"Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century","description":"Although much has been written on the evangelical revival of the 18th century, J C Ryle's *Christian Leaders of the 18th Century* remains the best popular introduction to this great spiritual era. With simplicity and vigour, he traces the lives of the eleven Christian leaders who 'shook England from one end to another', giving strong reasons for his belief \"that excepting Luther and his Continental contemporaries, and our own martyred Reformers, the world has seen no such men since the days of the apostles.\"  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBut Ryle does not write to prompt admiration, and his conclusions and applications of his subject are among the most forceful that ever came from his pen. \"I am obliged to say plainly that, in my judgment, we have among us neither the men nor the doctrines of the days gone by ... Once let the evangelical ministry return to the ways of the 18th century, and I firmly believe we should have as much success as before. We are where we are, because we have come short of our fathers.\"  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eAt the beginning of last century, Canon A M W Christopher of St Aldate's, Oxford, declared that he had turned to Ryle's book during every summer vacation for thirty years. It is time *Christian Leaders of the 18th Century* was so read again.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS  \u003cbr\u003eAuthor's Preface vii  \u003cbr\u003e1 The religious and moral condition of England at the beginning of the eighteenth century 1  \u003cbr\u003e2 The agency by which Christianity was revived in England in the middle of the eighteenth century 11  \u003cbr\u003e3 George Whitefield 19  \u003cbr\u003e4 John Wesley 51  \u003cbr\u003e5 William Grimshaw 91  \u003cbr\u003e6 William Romaine 135  \u003cbr\u003e7 Daniel Rowland 165  \u003cbr\u003e8 John Berridge 199  \u003cbr\u003e9 Henry Venn 237  \u003cbr\u003e10 Samuel Walker 287  \u003cbr\u003e11 James Hervey 309  \u003cbr\u003e12 Augustus Toplady 337  \u003cbr\u003e13 John Fletcher 363  \u003cbr\u003eConclusion 403","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572998897951,"sku":"9781848711730","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781848711730_1362406.jpg?v=1769404312","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/christian-leaders-of-the-eighteenth-century-507437","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
