About this book
John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (version 3) remains a vivid and moving allegory of the Christian life, tracing one traveler's quest for the Celestial City. Written in 17th-century Puritan England, Bunyan's classic follows Christian from his first encounter with the Evangelist through the Slough of Despond, the Castle of Despair, Vanity Fair and other symbolic trials that test faith, conscience and perseverance. Part Two continues the journey with Christian’s wife and sons as they face the same moral and spiritual challenges.
This edition reflects the 1909 revisions by the Rev. Jesse Lyman Hurlbut, who gently modernized archaic language and streamlined theological passages to preserve Bunyan’s spirit while making the text more accessible. Dramatized with distinct voices for principal characters, the recording enhances the narrative’s dramatic power without spoiling its moral discoveries.
Ideal for listeners of classic fiction and dramatic works, Pilgrim’s Progress appeals to those interested in religious allegory, literary history, or personal reflection on faith and character. Choose this rendition for a clear, engaging performance that brings a timeless spiritual journey to life.
