Book Reviews of The Pilgrim's Progress in Modern English ( A Pure Gold Classic) (Pure Gold Classics)
Book Review: A Christian Classic for the Reformed Soul
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone else has put it best: "This is a moving, allegorical account of spiritual warfare experienced by a wayfaring pilgrim traveling from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, in which Bunyan allegorizes his own religious experience as a guide for others... Bunyan's insight into mankind's desperate plight and God's redeeming grace make this a legendary classic. Regeneration, faith, repentance, justification, mortification, sanctification, and perseverance are poignantly painted for us in biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical detail." See Meet the Puritans: With A Guide to Modern Reprints, p. 111.
Now, for some of my own thoughts. First, I agree with other reviewers who have advocated on behalf of editions in the original, unmodernized English. The Dover Thrift printing is one such edition. After you get acclimated to Bunyan's style, which may take 15 pages or so, the original English is not hard to read and the richness of Bunyan's style is more than worth the effort.
I've been a Christian for some 6 or so years; as of this writing I am 26 years old. I found this book to be very inspiring, as well as convicting. I was often convicted of my own laziness and waywardness, and yet the manner in which Bunyan declares the many graces of God at the same time motivated me to continue on the way. The way that Bunyan describes the human condition and the Christian walk in this book is truly amazing.
I was particularly comforted in knowing that Bunyan was such a solid Christian, striving after Christ, even after suffering hardship much more difficult than I am likely ever to experience. The first part of "Pilgrim's Progress" was written while Bunyan was in jail for having preached the Gospel. And this was after Bunyan had spent 12 years in prison for the same "offense." Here, then, is a man who suffered much, but who loved God much, and this book is very inspiring on that account. I highly recommend this book.
