John Bunyon was an English 17th Christian writer and preacher. He is best known for his allegory The Pilgrims Progress. In his autobiographical book, Grace Abounding, Bunyan describes himself as having led an abandoned life in his youth, and as having been morally reprehensible as a result. After contemplating his acts as a youth he became a Baptist. In 1655 he became a church deacon and began preaching. The Pharisee and Publican is a sermon, which uses a text from Luke. "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a Publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus...

This accurate, revised text retains Bunyan's distinctive clarity of style while offering contemporary smoothness without being racy. Based upon the definitive Oxford Press text of 1960 by Wharey and Sharrock, the book pays particular attention to the maintenance of the author's doctrine and purposes.

This treatise was written in 1663 during John Bunyan's incarceration in the Bedford prison and it was first published as a pocket edition in 1674 after his release from prison.

This is John Bunyan's classic work. It was written in Bedford Jail as he served time for preaching without a license. Although jail time isn't the plan for most Christians, Bunyan undoubtedly reached (and continues to reach) more people with the love of Christ through his time in jail than he would have if he were free to preach. His life is a testimony that "All things work together for good, for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." This edition includes the more famous first part, as well as the second part where Christian's wife and kids choose to make the journey.
