Overview
Now in modern English and packed full of helpful features, this new edition will enable you to enjoy this classic of classics with greater understanding than ever before.
The Pilgrim's Progress has been called "the greatest allegory ever written." Its appeal sweeps across the scope of age, intellect, and education. Children read it for the excitement of the story, eager believers are challenged and trained by its invaluable teaching, and Bible students and scholars alike read it for the its depth of doctrine.
Just as revelant today
Just as relevant today as it was when John Bunyan wrote it in his cell in the Bedford County Jail, The Pilgrim's Progress is the story of every Christian¿from the first stirrings of the Holy Spirit beckoning us to follow Christ, to our final arrival in the Celestial City of God.
In this new edition of Bunyan's timeless classic, you will find:
A careful and accurate revision into modern English
Bunyan's original Scripture references
Hundreds of additional Scripture references to enhance personal study
Chapter endnotes to help clarify scriptural and historical references
Indexes: meaningful words, names, titles, characters and places

Over 50 illustrations

 | A great read! Mar 12, 2007 |
| I remember seeing this book in my grandparents' home back in the '50's. Always thought it was about Plymouth Rock until I started attending church and found out it was an allegory on the Christian's walk with Christ. I really like the language of this particular book as it makes clear the different stages of the Christian walk. I was not aware of the second part about Christiana, which was thoroughly enjoyable as well. Definitely a keeper. | | |  | Please read Bunyan's version, not this one Mar 9, 2007 |
John Bunyan's language is really not in the least bit difficult to understand. His The Pilgrim's Progress IS in "Moden English," so it very misleading to say that you can translate them into "Modern English"; they can only be paraphrased. It's bad enough when people read re-written Shakespeare (ok, awful, in my opinion), but at least they have the excuse that Shakespeare can be difficult. If you're going to take the time to read the whole thing, and not simply a summary, why not read what Bunyan actually wrote? Look at his opening, for example:
"As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Den. And I laid me down in that place to sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a Dream. I dreamed, and behold I saw a Man clothed with Rags, standing in a certain place..."
As you can see already, his style is unique, but not at all difficult to understand, and certainly easier than the King James Bible for example. Anyone capable of reading the whole length of the Pilgrim's Progress should have very little trouble with it, so what need is there for a substitute? Please read the real thing, preferably with the original spelling and punctuation (though you can surely find modernized versions that still preserve the original diction, if you prefer)! I promise you'll thank me for it later. | | | | My English Teacher's Attempt to Force Christianity Upon Us Feb 11, 2007 |
| This is one of the worst books I've ever read in my life. The plot is boring and horribly predictable, the characters are flat, and the story is wholy uninspiring. I've read much better devotional books than this so-called "literature." If you want to be inspired, go read the actual Bible; don't settle for an imitation. | | | | Great Bible Tool Jan 3, 2007 |
| Great to use as a supplement to the Bible. It helps to amplify God's Word in a real world practical way. | | | | Not what is depicted with the cover view Aug 16, 2006 |
| In searching for this title I found there were 60+ versions out there so I had to rely on both editor and cover pictorials to determine the one I was seeking (which was modern English, full page pictorials, and covering both Christian's and Christiana's journeys). Since I had the one I wanted in hand, I put a lot of faith in the cover visual. What I got was as version without full page pictures, small print and in the older dialect. From what other pilgrims have told me, the modern English version is essential in understanding this work. I donated it to the local library in hopes it will still do good. | | | Write your own review about Pilgrims Progress In Modern English (Updated)
