Böcker av John Bunyan

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of religious English literature, has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print.It has also been cited as the first novel written in English.Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars such as John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.The English text comprises 108,260 words and is divided into two parts, each reading as a continuous narrative with no chapter divisions. The first part was completed in 1677 and entered into the Stationers' Register on 22 December 1677. It was licensed and entered in the "Term Catalogue" on 18 February 1678, which is looked upon as the date of first publication.[10] After the first edition of the first part in 1678, an expanded edition, with additions written after Bunyan was freed, appeared in 1679. The Second Part appeared in 1684. There were eleven editions of the first part in John Bunyan's lifetime, published in successive years from 1678 to 1685 and in 1688, and there were two editions of the second part, published in 1684 and 1686.

Le Voyage du pèlerin (The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come en anglais) est un roman de John Bunyan, publié en 1678 et traduit depuis dans plus de deux cents langues différentes. Le récit rapporte les aventures de Christian (mot signifiant aussi "chrétien" en anglais), un homme ordinaire tâchant de se frayer un chemin depuis la "Cité de la destruction" jusqu'à la "Cité céleste" de Sion. De Manière allégorique, John Bunyan présente dans cet ouvrage le voyage du chrétien ordinaire vers l'éternité bienheureuse, les progrès et l'heureuse fin d'une modeste âme chrétienne qui cherche simplement Dieu en Jésus-Christ. Cet ouvrage de Bunyan reflète la simplicité et la spontanéité de la vie de chaque chrétien. Et c'est parce qu'il incarne justement la pensée qui guide le pélerin, la vérité qui motive son cheminement, que le lecteur de cet ouvrage a le sentiment d'avoir été initié par sa lecture à une vie qui ne peut être autre que vie de chaque chrétien. Le Voyage du pèlerin devient ainsi un modèle à suivre pour l'exercice de la foi de tous les jours.Cet ouvrage magistral est à ce jour, après la Bible, l'un des ouvrages chrétiens les plus vendu au monde.

Though we are not now to worship God in those methods, or by such ordinances as once the old church did; yet to know their methods, and to understand the nature and signification of their ordinances, when compared with the gospel; may even now, when themselves (as to what they once enjoined on others) are dead, minister light to us. And hence the New Testament ministers, as the apostles, made use of Old Testament language, and ceremonial institutions as to their signification, to help the faith of the godly in their preaching of the gospel of Christ. --from the PrefaceJohn Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English minister and the author of Pilgrim's Progress, The Holy War, and Grace Abounding.

The Pilgrim's Progress is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan.

This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of belief in the divine.For centuries a leading source on the Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians, religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20 and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.

JOHN BUNYAN was C. H. Spurgeon's favorite author and his legendary work, THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, is the most popular book ever written apart from Holy Scripture. Spurgeon loved reading and re-reading this work, claiming to have read it over 100 times!

An allegorical work that starts off with Part I and the journey of Christian to Celestial City. The second part tells a similar story but of Christian's wife and children and their journey to Celestial City. This fun and easy read is a great choice for people of all ages and for any Christian in any part of their walk with God as it is an entertaining read but also highly instructive in the walk and trials of the Christian believer as they go through life.
