Attempting to "untie some theological knots," J. C. Ryle's nineteen essays approach doctrinal controversies of the nineteenth century from an evangelical perspective. Written in Ryle's customary direct, plain-language, and filled with insightful commentary, this volume is comprised of Ryle's observations on baptism, regeneration, confessions, the Sabbath, and more. This is a key work for understanding the debates within the English Church after the Reformation.

William Cunningham (1805-1861) was an Scottish theologian. He was, in 1843, one of the founders of the Free Church of Scotland, and succeeded the doughty Thomas Chalmers as principal of the New College, Edinburgh, in 1847. His lectures surveying the history of theology, delivered between 1847 and 1861, became the basis for his Historical Theology. It remains a classic in the Reformed and Presbyterian tradition. In his magnum opus Cunningham surveys the following topics: I. The Church II. The Council of Jerusalem III. The Apostles’ Creed IV. The Apostolical Fathers V. The Heresies of the Apostolic Age VI. The Fathers of the Second and Third Centuries VII. The Church of the First Two Centuries VIII. The Constitution of the Church IX. The Doctrine of the Trinity X. The Person Of Christ XI. The Pelagian Controversy XII. The Worship of Saints and Images XIII. Civil and Ecclesiastical Authorities XIV. Scholastic Theology XV. Canon Law XVI. Witnesses for the Truth During The Middle Ages XVII. The Church at the Era of the Reformation XVIII. Council of Trent XIX. The Doctrine of the Fall XX. The Doctrine of the Will XXI. Justification XXII. The Sacramental Principle XXII. The Socinian Controversy XXIV. Doctrine of the Atonement XXV. The Arminian Controversy XXVI. Church Government XXVII. The Erastian Controversy

At the request of the editor of the North American Review, the author of this book prepared an argument in defense of the doctrine of Endless Punishment, which was published in the number of that periodical for February, 1885. It was agreed that the writer should have the right to republish it at a future time. Only the rational argument was presented in the article. The author now reproduces it, adding the biblical argument, and a brief historical sketch. Every doctrine has its day to be attacked, and defended. Just now, that of Eternal Retribution is strenuously combated, not only outside of the church, but to some extent within it. Whoever preaches it is said, by some, not "to preach to the times"--As if the sin of this time were privileged, and stood in a different relation to the law and judgment of God, from that of other times. Neither the Christian ministry, nor the Christian church, are responsible for the doctrine of Eternal Perdition. It is given in charge to the ministry, and to the church, by the Lord Christ himself, in his last commission, as a truth to be preached to every creature. Speaking generally, those who believe that there is a hell, and intelligently fear it, as they are commanded to do by Christ himself, will escape it; and those who deny that there is a hell, and ridicule it, will fall into it. Hence the minister of Christ must be as plain as Christ, as solemn as Christ, and as tender as Christ, in the announcement of this fearful truth. - Preface
