The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan has been translated into more than 200 languages, set to music, and made into movies. But who was its author and how did he start writing this book? Why did he have to spend 12 years in prison? And what do we know about his courageous wife Elizabeth and other women who influenced his life? Listen to the answers to these questions and more as Trinity, Sean, and Christian talk with Dr. Shannon Murray, Professor of Early Modern and Children’s literature at the University of Prince Edward Island, and president of the executive committee of the International John Bunyan Society.
Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are excited to offer a bundle of Simonetta Carr’s books to two listeners! The winner will be selected just in time for Christmas. Register here to win this special giveaway!
