Book Description
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”.’ In this book, Ryle expounds the great themes of the gospel and proves that this is indeed the ‘good way’ where true ‘rest of soul’ is to be found.

Book Description The nineteenth century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J.C.
