I found a study guide for it @ bunyanministries. Was reading in the study guide that John Bunyan ministered during a tumultuous period that included monarchial tyranny, civil war, fire, plague & intense conflict between establishment religion & zealous Puritanism. Joseph Smith grew up in some of the similar religious unrest or questionings. I find it interesting that John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress, a book that is very closely aligned to the Bible. However, Joseph Smith said that he was told that none of the religions was correct. That they were all false. And he wrote The Book of Mormon, which is not closely aligned to the Bible. Just wanted to post my observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Mormons wake up spiritually and realize who the founder of their religion was. Genesis 3:5 Edited August 23, 2014 by clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurgeon on Paul Bunyan Have you never seen an earnest minister, with hands uplifted and eyes dropping tears, pleading with the sons of men? Mr. Bunyan is the chief, and head, and lord of all allegorists, and is not to be followed by us into the deep places of typical and symbolical utterance. He was a swimmer, we are but mere waders, and must not go beyond our depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
