J. C. Ryle’s
Short Expository Readings on the Gospel of John.
John Charles Ryle, 1816–1900AD
PREFACE.
The
volume now in the reader’s hands is intended to meet the wants of those who
do not require critical discussion of the difficulties, and “things hard to
be understood” in Scripture, but plain exposition of God’s Word.
It
contains a continuous series of Short Expository Papers on the whole of St.
John’s Gospel, and it is hoped it may be found useful for Family Prayers,
for Cottage Readings, and for Mothers’ Meetings, as well as for private
study.
