A review by beckykendrick
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

4.0

I think one of the most challenging things of this book is learning the context in which it was written. Language and word meanings are so far removed from 1678 that it’s difficult at times to grasp what Bunyan was really communicating. All of that said, I think it’s a great work. This allegory has stood the test of time portraying eternal truths, and really much can still be gleaned from it today in 2022.

Another important context to consider is the Puritanism of Bunyan as well. Considering the scriptures and interpretation of scriptures while reading was important for me.

I think it’s a good read for anyone, Christian or no.
