Our book for the remainder of September and the month of October will be Pilgrim’s Progress, in the beautiful edition put out by Crossway. An enduring classic, Bunyan’s famous allegory of the Christian life has been treasured by believers for well over 300 years.
While Pilgrim’s Progress has been abridged or otherwise altered many times, this edition, edited by C. J. Lovik, seeks to preserve the voice of the original while still making it easier for today’s readers to comprehend. Though long sentences have been broken up and obselete verbal forms have been replaced the voice that shines through the finished product is still that of Bunyan himself. The many illustrations that accompany the text are a worthy companion and the volume itself has been produced with excellence. I’m looking forward to reading it through along with all of you.
