Bunyan Characters (3rd Series)

A series of lectures examines John Bunyan's allegorical military narrative, interpreting the human soul as a city besieged and exploring its palace, walls, gates, and the battles fought for its control. The speaker situates the allegory in biblical and literary precedent, compares the work's imaginative and pastoral force with other spiritual classics, and analyzes key personifications and episodes that dramatize sin, grace, and repentance. Each lecture addresses particular figures and scenes, theological questions such as the persistence of remaining sin in the regenerate, and practical pastoral applications for prayer, discipline, and spiritual vigilance.
