Description

The Pilgrim’s Progress has been entertaining and illuminating readers for over three centuries, and there can have been few readers more expert about both the book and its meaning than C.H. Spurgeon. Here we have the greatest of nineteenth-century preachers setting forth timeless truths from Bunyan, with infectious enthusiasm about his favourite author. ‘The reason for his liking is not far to seek,’ writes Spurgeon’s son and successor in his Introduction. ‘They both loved “the Book of books.”’ Just so, today’s reader will come away from these chapters with a renewed appreciation not only of Bunyan and Spurgeon, but of the truth and wisdom of the Scriptures.

About the Author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was born in 1834 in the village of Kelvedon, Essex, in the south-east of England. In 1854 he became the minister of the Baptist congregation meeting in New Park Street, London, which in 1861 moved to the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Spurgeon constinued as a minister until his death in 1892. His orthodox evangelical theology and winsome style attracted many to his preaching ministry, and his writings, several of which are published by the Trust, remain widely-read and appreciated to this day.
