John Bunyan was born in 1628, seventeen years after the Authorized Version of the Bible was approved by King James and published (in 1611). Even though the intensity of the persecution of genuine believers was diminishing (in the sense that capital punishment was not as likely), religious freedom remained limited. At the time, clergy were well educated, and there were virtually no legal opportunities for an unlicensed, poor, unsophisticated, nonconformist preacher like Bunyan. Bunyan, a tinker by trade, insisted on preaching not only to closed groups (such as the Congregational Church at Bedford) but also in public (and to great effect); this led to ongoing confrontation with secular and ecclesiastical authorities, which resulted in Bunyan being imprisoned on at least three occasions, for a total of over twelve years behind bars, before eventually being pardoned and licensed to teach. Not only was the cold, dark prison a hazard to his health and a trial to his faith, it also imposed severe hardship on his wife and four children (one of whom was blind). Yet it was while in prison (between 1660 and 1672 and again for six months in 1675) that Bunyan had his famous dream(s) and subsequently wrote The Pilgrim´s Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come in two parts in addition to many other writings. It has been said that John Bunyan had a very simple personal library consisting only of his Bible and a four-volume edition of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. His inspiration did not come from advanced theological training but from the Scriptures in the light of a very close personal relationship with the Lord. In this volume, note the extensive and virtually unprecedented use of Scripture. This special edition of The Pilgrim´s Progress was born out of my frustrating quest to find an accurate Spanish translation of this work for use in our Latin America ministry. Then, I began to search for an appropriate English edition to serve as the basis for a Spanish translation. Once again, I was stymied. All of the editions I have collected (some plain and some fancy), which have been published over the past one hundred years or so, have also been so edited or abridged that it soon became clear to me that the original intent of the author had been (at least, in certain places) significantly altered. I have not been able to find an edition of The Pilgrim’s Progress published in the past hundred or so years that has not in some way degraded, twisted, manipulated, or even deleted serious portions of the text that did not happen to line up with the modern doctrinal views of the editors (and different editors, in their varying editions, tended to distort entirely separate sections according to their conflicting theological views). Even between my 1832 and 1893 editions significant manipulation occurred, particularly with the author’s notes (early editions have them in the margin; nineteenth century editions and on have them converted into footnotes). By 1893, many notes were missing, or others that were not written by the author had been added. Also, many of the original Scripture references had been deleted or replaced with other references that detracted from rather than strengthened the original argument. Therefore, as our base text, we used a simple, no-frills pocket edition published by R.W. Pomeroy in Philadelphia (1832) in which the original spelling has been somewhat reformed but the Scripture references and footnotes (formerly margin notes) are much more intact. So, what has our editing accomplished? The original style of Bunyan reads half like a screenplay and half like normal dialogue with narration mixed in. Also, things such as capitalization, punctuation, and so on seem to blend according to Bunyan’s own style. We have turned the screenplay parts into normal dialogue and bent or even disregarded some of the modern rules of English so as to preserve the original style and meaning. We have also divided the book into chapters with subheadings to provide added comfort to the reader. We have gone through and solved some puzzles with the Old English, particularly with the slang used in certain parts of England prior to 1660 that, unlike the King James Bible (or even Shakespeare), contained words that are no longer relevant in any dictionary and that were combined in such a manner as to be exceedingly obscure. In other places, I left some “gems” intact because I thought they were so priceless that I could not bring myself to mess with them (also thinking that the reader could probably eventually figure them out). There were, however, places where I simply could not find an exact modern equivalent. Here are two examples or the original and edited versions: 1. As Cristiana and Mercy come up the hill Difficulty, the thirsty pilgrims come to a spring of water that has been deliberately muddied by the feet of some that do not desire for pilgrims to be able to quench their thirst. Original: Thereat Mercy said, “And why so envious, trow?” Updated: At this, Mercy said, “This is unimaginable; why so spiteful?” 2. While Christiana and friends are at the house of Mr. Mnason in Vanity Fair, here is part of the conversation: Original: Then said Mr. Dare-not-lie; “It is true, they neither have the pilgrim’s weed, nor the pilgrim’s courage; they go not uprightly, but all awry with their feet; one shoe goeth inward, another outward; and their hosen out behind; here a rag, and there a rent, to the disparagement of their Lord.” Updated Then Mr. Dare-not-lie said, “It is true. They have neither the pilgrim’s bearing, nor the pilgrim’s courage; they do not go uprightly, but all awry with their feet; one shoe goes inward, another outward; and their trousers are out behind: here a tatter and there a tear, to the disparagement of their Lord. The Pilgrim’s Progress is one of the most read books (after the King James Bible) in the history of the English language. I want my children and grandchildren to be able to read and understand this book according to the fullness of the original intent of the author as part of our accurate, historical Christian heritage that shall continue to bear good fruit into the future.

Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...mode of warfare. The living statue, stealing softly on, would seek to clasp him and then would seek to repel him. The shadowy assailant would then breathe around him clouds of smoke, so that he could hardly see his hand before him. While the young giant's aim was to wrest away their swords from them. Christian fared not so hardly as his brother, for spreading his ample shield before him, he therein "quenched all the darts of the enemy." When the cold enemy sought to get around him, he forthwith turned upon him with his blazing shield, from which he shrank away. Did the spectre of mist come before him with clouds of bewildering haze, gathering darkness around him, Christian presented his shield, and that darkness was turned in to noon-day; but both used well their swords, only Christian was the cooler of the two. But Constant laid about him bravely, and at length the two fled away into the dark valley, and the young giant, sorely wounded, crawled into his den. Thus our heroes were permitted to pass on. They were now entering on a wilderness, and stopped a moment to' cleanse their armors, and wash their wounds in a little stream running from the great fountain at the cross. It was called Renewal-of-love. While resting there, there came up a traveler--one False Hope. They asked him whither he was going. ' False Hope.--To the Celestial City. Christian.---Hast thou the King's eertificates in thy 'bosom, received from him on the cross! False Hope.--No, but I have a writing given me at the house Beautiful, which they say is as good as the King's own hand. Constant.--And hast thou the seal in thy forehead.

The author unveils the Pilgrims Progress considered as next important to the Bible from a prophetic point of view applying it to the Christians of today. As this book, bristled with symbols and signs, is allegorical in its entire story, akin to the book of Revelation, it needs to be interpreted in a manner to be comprehended by a Christian believer. During the days of his meditation on the Pilgrim's Progress, the author had a strange dream in which he saw a young boy holding an umbrella over the head of an old-man (looking like John Bunyan) on their journey to a destination. The Holy Spirit spoke to the author that the young man was the author who was of the 21st century while the old man was of the 17th century. In the vision, both of them walked together. The author did not overtake John Bunyan but simply walked with him holding the umbrella of honour over the latter. This interpretation was made by the author during the outpouring of the "latter" rains (Joel 2:23).The author has interpreted the important symbols, signs, etc in the Pilgrim's Progress in a manner to be understood by the Christian community. The author has interpreted this book prophetically for the Christian community. The man whom John Bunyan had put in a cage in the 17th century has been set free by the author in the 21st century. The Pilgrim's progress if rightly interpreted is meant for the Christians of today who profess to follow Christ but deny Him through their lives. The life of a Christian who is on the way to perfection is full of ups and downs. The Pilgrim's Progress exposes those who preach pseudo-gospel, false gospel, erroneous interpretation of biblical principles and false prophets. Author has clearly warned pastors who for selfish reasons, do not nurture the flock, instead exploit and oppress the flock. To have hold on their flock, they devise new teachings that deprive believers of their vitality, purpose and meaning of Christian life. The author through his interpretation gives Counsel, Caution, Correction, Comfort and Consolation to all readers: young or old, new or mature Christian, believer or pastor, men or women, individual or families. The Pilgrim's Progress brings to focus the purpose, role and ministry of local church; ministries of individuals beyond church and maturing believers moving to serve at different aspects of ministry. Sadly, as author warns pastors who imprison believers and do not allow them to mature, grow and fulfil God's purpose in their lives. By writing this marvellous, insightful and instructive interpretation, the author passionately desires the churches are 'Back to the Bible'. The Pilgrim's Progress is bible-based narrative that gives clarity for individual Christian life, family Christian life, Community Christian life and Church life. The Pilgrim's Progress warns about individual challenges, temptations, deviations and destructive paths. The author has brought this to apply in our today's prevalent context and warns individual believers.
