Review # 1 was written on 2021-04-01 00:00:00 Kevin Edwards This book was so helpful in deciphering some of the beautiful allegories in Pilgrim's Progress. Charles Spurgeon loved Pilgrim's Progress, he said it was his favorite book besides the Bible and he read it at least 100 times.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-14 00:00:00 Robert Jobin Jr Just about anything from Charles Spurgeon is a gem, sometimes in the rough, but worth reading. The man who read Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress at least once a year surely has things to say about it. And the man who wrote a book commenting on commentaries is surely going to comment about his favorite book. This is a further investigation of the characters and places found in Bunyan's allegory, and they are, as Spurgeon does well, filled with insights and application. The act of taking another author's work, analyzing it and extending its moral lessons is in fact a form of homage, Bunyan's famous tale being among the most famous of Christian works. This book would carry a sense of standing upon another's coat-tails if it was anyone but a giant in his day like Spurgeon. Very few can pull of such a work. If you enjoy the many subtle allusions to specific scriptures and theological concepts in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, then this book is like sitting around with Charles Spurgeon over a good cigar talking about good books.
