Works of That Eminent Servant of Christ, John Bunyan, The / Bunyan, John / (HB/1872-1872/C-/USED)

*Spine missing, taped over*

The career of Bunyan is a marvel. It will repay the labour of a careful analysis by the rhetorician, the orator, the writer of fiction, the preacher, the Sabbath-school teacher and the Christian parent; for each of these may draw out from some portion of his multifarious productions the secret of success in his own department of effort.
Bunyan was successful even in his wickedness. He styles himself, as Paul did, "The
chief of sinners." In both cases the title was deserved, not so much on account of eminent depravity as of eminent ability and energy. All the natural qualities which afterward gave him power as a Christian preacher and writer were exhibited in his leadership in profanity, in revilings, and in all iniquity.
Bunyan was successful as a Christian man, as a popular orator, as a practical religious
writer, and to no small extent as a theologian. In some of these departments his success has been most remarkable.
If there is any book  except King James' Bible which has a surer prospect than any other of a permanent place in English literature, that book is Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Is it claiming too much if it is placed on an equality, in this respect, even with the Paradise Lost and the plays of Shakespeare?
