Pilgrim's Progress: The Accurate Revised Text

During the latter half of this twentieth century, numerous revisions of The Pilgrim's Progress have been published. However, while several of these publications have proved to be accurate and useful, many have been lacking in precision, not only in linguistic style, but also with regard to the author's doctrinal intentions.

Doubtless John Bunyan would have heartily agreed that his allegory should be made as clear as is possible to this modern generation, though without sacrificing truth and his attractive plainness of writing.

With this in mind, yet another contemporary rendering is offered with the earnest desire that it will prove faithful to the Bedford tinker's expressed purpose, namely that the reader perceive the substance of Bible and gospel truth that lies beyond the veil of allegorical style. -From the Introduction by Barry E.
