Book Description

Signet Classics April 2, 2002
The Pilgrim's Progress represents religious allegory transformed into intense drama-and features characters who are superbly individualized, indelibly alive, and as memorable as the landmarks on the hero's journey toward salvation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Look for a better edition, June 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pilgrim's Progress (Signet Classics) (Paperback)
I'm not a Pilgrim's Progress expert, but this doesn't seem to be the best edition of this book. There are footnotes (including Bunyan's own notes) but they are often "late"; for example, footnotes to explain the archaic meaning of the word are often included on the second or third appearance of the word. Also, the editor has included indicators as to who is speaking in each paragraph (much like a stage script) but it is not consistent.

Shop around and see if you can find a better edition of Pilgrim's Progress.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keep in mind I Corinthians 13, June 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pilgrim's Progress (Signet Classics) (Paperback)
I Corinthians 13 says the following: If I have all faith as to
remove mountains, but have not love, then I am nothing...

Bunyan's allegory about Christian's journey is
predominantly a journey about faith....He doesn't really
talk about one's day to day struggles, and the need to
bear each other's burdens....It is primarily a solo kind of
journey here, but this should not be too surprising
considering that the book is an allegory about one's
own INNER struggle to avoid temptation, as typified by
"the world". In Christ our flesh has been crucified, so we
are not to dwell on earthly things.

I think the book succeeds admirably in admonishing the
Christian to avoid temptation and stay on the path that is
narrow and straight.

With that said, this is a remarkably readable version, that
is at the same time true to the original 17th century text.
Only spelling and punctuation have been changed to aid
the modern reader. Grammar and paragraphing have not
been altered. Where a word's meaning has changed over
time, its archaic meaning is included as a footnote. Also,
where Bunyan quotes from the Bible, directly or indirectly,
the passages quoted from are cited. The editors have
done a remarkable job, although truthfully I haven't looked
at all the other versions out there....For me, this version
does the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, September 13, 2011
By 
This review is from: The Pilgrim's Progress (Signet Classics) (Paperback)
Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan is an excellent story of the Christian faith journey including numerous biblical comparisons of the life journey of an individual who makes the choice to follow Christ to Heaven, and gives many descriptive examples of the joys and sorrows on the path toward the Kingdom of God. Excellent Read, 5 stars!
