Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will prepare for battle? ( I Cor. 14:8) Here then is J. C Ryle's clear trumpet call presenting the key doctrines of the Christian faith: Another classic from Ryle.Chapters: Inspiration, Our Souls, Few Saved, Our Hope, Alive or Dead, Our Sins, Forgiveness, Justification, The Cross of Christ, The Holy Ghost, Having the Spirit, Conversion, The Heart, Christ's Invitation, Faith, Repentance, Christ's Power to Save, Perseverance.From the Introduction: Few, probably, will deny that there are some things in religion about which we may think other people hold very erroneous views, and are, notwithstanding, in no danger of being finally lost.

If truths like these are not absolutely necessary to salvation, it is difficult to understand how any truths whatever can be called necessary. If people may be saved without knowing anything about these truths, it appears to me that we may throw away our Bibles altogether, and proclaim that the Christian religion is of no use. From such a miserable conclusion I hope most people will shrink back with horror.To open out and explain these great necessary truths and to confirm them by Scripture, nis the simple object here. …
