The Pilgrim's Principles: John Bunyan Revisited
In this lecture, Jim Packer introduces John Bunyan, the author of Pilgrim’s Progress. He examines his background and the influence of John Gifford, his pastor. Packer describes Bunyan as a typical puritan, committed to reformed theology and holy living; but also an atypical puritan, an artisan of limited education. However, Bunyan was extremely able, as shown by the 60 theological books he wrote in 30 years, despite undergoing extreme suffering. The lecture also looks at Pilgrim’s Progess’ view of the Christian life. Bunyan wrote Pilgrim’s Progress as a teaching tool to explain the Christian life to ordinary people. Packer looks at the areas of conversion, the difficulties of Christians, the fellowship of believers, the task of pastors and the end of life. Packer says Bunyan teaches “timely truths for us today.” Jim Packer is Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Colombia. He is one of the most important evangelical theologians of the last fifty years.
