Description
Suzeteo Enterprises The Pilgrim by John Bunyan Illustrated by Frederick Barnard
Many editions of John Bunyans Pilgrims Progress only have the first half which follows the journey of Christian written c. 1678. They omit the second part written c. 1684 where Christians wife Christiana follows her husband. This edition however has both parts together as a single volume. Moreover it contains the original illustrations by Frederick Barnard (which were engraved by the Dalziel brothers) and an index of Bible references Bunyan cited. These features allow the modern reader to experience the full weight of this classic allegory. Bunyan began writing this work while imprisoned for not obeying the state church in England. Still Bunyan considered lifes trials to be mild compared to the prospect of eternal separation from God. He reminds us that we are only pilgrims here; our home is elsewhere. To get there we must mind our step.show more
