The Pilgrim's Progress: Accurate Revised Text Edition($12.99Value)

Description

Why would Reformation Press (an imprint of Great Christian Books) publish yet another edition of the most frequently published book after the Bible itself? Well, simply, we agree with Dr. Barry E. Horner the scholar who brings us this The Accurate Revised edition, that too many versions of this classic work have been overly modernized, abridged or stripped of the gospel truths which John Bunyan labored to communicate throughout this masterful allegory of the Christian Pilgrim's life. Working from what scholars agree to be the most complete, faithful and final version of Bunyan's manuscript, Dr. Horner has judiciously crafted a modernized version which retains all the glorious and compelling doctrine that The Tinker of Bedford, (as Bunyan was called), so eloquently conveys to all who join Pilgrim in his journey to The Celestial City. Oh, that you and I might get into the very heart of the Word of God, and get that Word into ourselves! I would quote John Bunyan as an instance of what I mean. Read anything of his, and you will see that it is almost like reading the Bible itself. He had studied till his whole being was saturated with Scripture; and, though his writing is charmingly full of poetry; yet he cannot give us his Pilgrim's Progress, that sweetest of all prose, without continually making us feel and say, Why, this man is a living Bible! Prick Bunyan anywhere and you will find his blood to be Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows through him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his soul is full of the Word of God. --Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Pastor of Metropolitan Tabernacle, London Barry E. Horner is arguably the leading evangelical scholar on the life and works of John Bunyan alive today. As a Pastor himself, he has dedicated the better part of his scholastic endeavors in the study of the literature and ministry of Bunyan. As the host of a popular seminar series on the Themes and Issues of The Pilgrim's Progress, Dr. Horner brings this classic allegory alive to audiences acroos the globe from the United States, to the Continent, to Australia.
