Book Overview

It is a commentary on John Bunyan's famous allegorical novel ""The Pilgrim's Progress"" and its relevance to the issue of alcohol consumption. The author argues that the Christian journey depicted in ""The Pilgrim's Progress"" is hindered by the use of intoxicating liquors, and that abstinence from alcohol is necessary for spiritual growth and progress.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of ""The Pilgrim's Progress"" and its central themes, including the dangers and obstacles faced by Christian pilgrims on their journey towards salvation. The author emphasizes the importance of sobriety and self-control in overcoming these obstacles, and draws on biblical passages to support his arguments.The second part of the book focuses specifically on the issue of alcohol consumption. The author provides a historical and cultural context for the use of intoxicating liquors, and argues that their negative effects on physical health, social relationships, and spiritual well-being are well-documented. He cites statistics and personal anecdotes to illustrate the dangers of alcohol, and encourages readers to embrace a life of abstinence as a means of achieving spiritual progress and fulfilling their Christian duties.Overall, ""Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Intoxicating Liquors"" is a thought-provoking and persuasive argument for the importance of sobriety and self-control in the Christian life. It draws on both literary and religious sources to make a compelling case for abstinence from alcohol, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and social issues.With An Inquiry Showing The Tracks Of The Wine-Cup Among The Churches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
