Product Description
by Leland Ryken (Foreword by), John Newton (Introduction by)
This title does not contain both parts. Only the Bible has sold more copies than The Pilgrim's Progress. Bunyan's classic, first published in 1678, quickly became a hallmark among English readers and beyond, enduring down to our day as a unique resource for spiritual edification. This new edition from Desiring God contains Bunyan's original version, unabridged and designed for modern readability. Featuring an introduction by John Piper to Bunyan's life and ministry, as well as a foreword by Leland Ryken, this volume also includes a preface by John Newton written in 1776, which was nearly lost in history until recently rediscovered.
Author Biography
John Bunyan (1628-1688) started work as a tinker but later became a preacher. As a Puritan, he was arrested for holding open-air "non-conformist" worship services and spent twelve years in Bedofrd jail. It was there that Pilgrim's Progress, among other works, was written.
