Many from the erudite class often criticize modernized versions of classical works because they take away the “beauty, meaning, etc” of the original work. In my opinion, Pappas has done no such thing. In the book’s preface, Pappas graciously hopes that his retelling takes nothing from Bunyan’s work, but only makes it more accessible for today’s reader. ed.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many books written and published with the title ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’. This book however uses the New Amplified approach and it is just excellent. Copied ‘from the back cover for YOU’ “Now in modern English comes The New Amplified Pilgrim’s Progress. All of the age-old treasurers that have made John Bunyan’s original the world’s best-selling non-biblical masterpiece in all history are now carried to new heights of power and clarity in the new enhanced version.”<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We began the “Aloud” reading of this wonderful book in our home as daily family time, and our four children, ages 5-14, have been energetic in their enthusiasm over it. We splurged and purchased each of them their own copy since we take turns reading, and they guard their books well. Using modern-day terminology, Pappas’ Pilgrim’s Progress weaves an understandable, incredible journey. Even our five year old is entranced, and all are enriched as we discover and discuss the meanings of the players’ and places’ names. We keep the original version of Pilgrim’s Progress nearby and compare passages at times. Mr. Pappas’ rendition of this classic is superb. His amplifications really do enhance the journey of Christian, are not distracting, nor (important to me) do they take away from the original text. This is an heirloom edition, to be sure. We have also very, very much enjoyed the old-world graphics throughout the book as it lends to take us back to the era in which it was staged.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
