An inside look at the theology that John Bunyan loved

Revisado: 10-09-24

This book is long overdue for our generation. While it has been around a while, my guess is that most are not nearly as familiar with it as they are John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress. This book serves as a kind of ‘The Making of Pilgrim’s Progress’ giving the reader/listener a glimpse into what made John Bunyan tick and from where he derived his extraordinary love of the telling of Christian’s journey to the celestial city. For it is the love of God and the love of theology that made Bunyan who he was and allowed the world to benefit from the writing of Pilgrim’s Progress. But this ‘behind the scenes’ look at the theology Bunyan loves is just as edifying for us to experience as modern readers. Truly devotional in parts, this study of God and man was not dry or cumbersome to listen to (especially through the voice of a truly incredible narrator, Steve Larsen) but rather, was ‘hard to put down’ as we often used to say when paper books were in vogue (still love those too!)
It is worth mentioning an additional note regarding the narrator. While he may be a new name on the audiobook scene, I hope we have much more to look forward to from Mr. Larsen. His reading of this book added to the devotional quality and with his easy-on-the-ears vocal quality, I believe I could listen to him read the phone book (do they still make those?). So enjoy this new ‘old’ book and may it be as edifying to you as it was to me.
