John Bunyan

Opis

These treatises from Bunyan's last year, 1688, are edited from the first editions, one of which was published in his lifetime, and the other two posthumously. All three are variations on the traditional typological method of biblical interpretation, and reflect similar variations practised in the work of other nonconformist theologians and preachers of the day. They are of interest both to students of Bunyan's theology and the struggles of `the Church in the wilderness', and to students of his art - the methods he explored to embody his ideas imaginatively and to intensify the appeal of his teaching.

A scholarly edition of The Miscellaneous Works of John Bunyan: Solomon's Temple Spiritualized; The House of the Forest of Lebanon; The Water of Life by Graham Midgley. The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.

Recenzje

'Many of the introductions to the volumes of The Miscellaneous Works draw out the parallels between the major writings and the various religious tracts. The Bunyan of The Miscellaneous Works is very much a preacher and theologian. As a result of such work on Bunyan's sectarian milieu, Bunyan's relation to his context is coming into ever sharper focus. These beautifully bound and meticulously edited volumes are positive encouragements to the reader. It would be difficult to overpraise them.' Religious Studies Review, Volume 19, Number 1/January 1993
