John Charles Ryle (1816 to 1900)
Church of England
He Wrote Seven Volumes on the Gospel.
Birth of John Charles Ryle, leader of Evangelicals
within the Church of England, in Cheshire, in a nominally Christian home.
Toward the end of his college studies at age 22, he experienced an evangelical
conversion. After financial reverses he became a clergyman, and served in a
poorly paid curacy. In 1844 he moved to East Anglia, and his ministry afforded
deeper study and writing, as well as personal ministry. In 1856, at age 40, he
began a seven volume Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, which were completed
in 1873.

Charles Ryle, Liverpool, born.

Contents
Life
He was the eldest son of John Ryle,
private banker, of Park House, Macclesfield, M.P. for Macclesfield 1833-7, and
Susanna, daughter of Charles Hurt of Wirksworth, Derbyshire. He was born at Macclesfield on 10 May 1816.[1]
He was educated at Eton and the university of Oxford, where his career was unusually distinguished. He was Fell exhibitioner at
Christ Church,
from which foundation he matriculated on 15 May 1834. He was Craven scholar in 1836, graduated B. A. in 1838, having been placed in the first class in
literæ hunaniores in the preceding year, and proceeded M.A. in 1871. He
was created D.D. by diploma on 4 May 1880.[1]
Ryle left the university with the
intention of standing for parliament on the first opportunity, but was deprived
of the means of gratifying his ambition by his father's bankruptcy. He
accordingly took holy orders (1841-2) and a cure of souls at Exbury, Hampshire. In 1843, he was preferred to the rectory of St.
Thomas, Winchester, which he exchanged in
the following year for that of Helmingham, Suffolk. The latter living he retained until 1861, when he resigned it for the
vicarage of Stradbroke in the same county. The
restoration of Stradbroke church was due to his initiative. In 1869, he was
made rural dean
of Hoxne, and in 1872 honorary canon of Norwich. He was select preacher at Cambridge in 1873 and the following year, and at Oxford from 1874 to 1876, and in
1879 and the following year. In 1880, he was designated dean
of Salisbury, and at once, 19 April, advanced to the newly created see of Liverpool, which he ably administered until his death on 10 June 1900.[1]
Family
He married thrice: first, on 29
October 1845, Matilda Charlotte Louisa, daughter of John Pemberton Plumptre, of
Fredville, Kent; secondly, in March 1850, Jessy, daughter of John Walker of
Crawfordton, Dumfriesshire; thirdly, on 24 October 1861, Henrietta, daughter of
Lieutenant-colonel William Legh Clowes of Broughton Old Hall, Lancashire. He
had issue a daughter by his first wife, and three sons by his second wife. His
second son, Herbert Edward Ryle also a clergyman, became successively Bishop of Exeter, Bishop of
Winchester and Dean of Westminster.[1]
Legacy
Ryle was a strong supporter of the evangelical
school and a critic of Ritualism. He was a writer, pastor and an evangelical preacher. Among his longer
works are Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869), Expository
Thoughts on the Gospels (7 vols, 1856–69), Principles for Churchmen
(1884). Ryle was described as having a commanding presence and vigorous in
advocating his principles albeit with a warm disposition. He was also credited
with having success in evangelizing the blue collar community.[1]
