Bunyan wrote the first part of The Pilgrim's Progress when he was in prison for conducting unauthorised Baptist religious services outside of the Church of England. It was published in 1678; the second part was published in 1684. In Bunyan's hands a pious tract is transformed into a work of imaginative literature whose influence, both indirectly on the English consiousness and directly on the literature that followed, has been immeasurable. The rich countryman's phrases that Bunyan borrowed or invented have become enshrined in the language, and many of the characters he created to people his imaginary world have won for themselves an independent and unforgettable existence.

    My wife and I are reading through this book. The experience thus far has been that of Biblical proportions. Bunyan's writing seems less like allegory and more like scripture. He portrays with such clarity and beauty his understanding of the snares of the Christian walk, as well as the grace that empowers us to overcome. This introduction to his theology makes me want to read The Pilgrim's Progress time and time again. I can't wait to finish and begin again and then move on to others of Bunyan's, including Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.

    I throughly enjoyed this book. There are so many references to this work throughout modern and classic literature that it was interesting to finally hear the original work. Furthermore, I highly recommend listening to the public domain audio recording of this book found at librivox.com. Although these audio files are not professionally done, the English woman who reads this work for Librivox has a wonderful voice that really compliments the work and brings the book to life.
