A yea for the former and a nay for the latter.I imagine just about all of us have, of course, read Pilgrim's Progress, but I don't think I got too much response to the question of who here has also read "Pilgrim's Regress?"
It's an "answer" to the original. Pretty interesting. I think it is better than PP.A yea for the former and a nay for the latter.
Well many people have also never read the Bible... or am I wrong about that?Yep, fer a natural fact. I can't hardly believe no one else has read it.
I just meant that I couldn't believe not even one person had read it, since I think it came out in 1933.Well many people have also never read the Bible... or am I wrong about that?
I know one fellow who knows quite a bit about the Bible, but he admittedly has never read it all. He studies favored places and searches things using a lexicon but especially in the OT he has never gotten around to reading it all. Am I criticizing? Absolutely not. The man I refer to has taught me many things about God over the years in spite of never reading the whole book. I would guess that there were some men of God in scripture who read very little of written scripture. Of course, I could be wrong in that as well...
Well, I have not read much of C.S. Lewis. Many years ago I picked up a used copy of "Mere Christianity". I read it then but alas no others. That one has gathered dust for these many years. Reading it now would likely be like reading a new book. The good thing perhaps is that I still have it. Many of my books are long since gone from me to make room on my shelves.It's an "answer" to the original. Pretty interesting. I think it is better than PP.
I used to search the used the book stores for old Christian books and obtained a few that way. Not living in a large city the selection was not great. I seldom go to those old stores any more. You remind me of an old habit I enjoyed [visiting such stores] but haven't practiced in a long time. I would still rather read a book than a computer screen if I have a choice.I just meant that I couldn't believe not even one person had read it, since I think it came out in 1933.
There is a fairly new book store in our town called "3-2-1 Books" Nothing above $3, and they have thousands of books, both old and new.

Thanks, but I have to honest. It is unlikely I would get anything from it. Looking for books in a physical book store is one thing. Looking online is another. I seldom venture far from the e-mails and the Christian forums online unless I have a particular book in mind and there's no likelihood of finding it any other way. I live in a university town, but it's not my university. When I attended there were used bookstores of my type everywhere. One of my uncles owned one and would lend me books to read. That was a different era. I know what it means to be aging when I compare it with this computer era of today.There is a fairly new book store in our town called "3-2-1 Books" Nothing above $3, and they have thousands of books, both old and new.

I have it on my hard drive in "zipped" MS Word format, and can send it to anyone who PM's me with any email address to send it to.
It can also be found online in PDF for reading.
Who would want to be regressive other than the so-called *Progressives*? They have regressed into anarchy.I imagine just about all of us have, of course, read Pilgrim's Progress, but I don't think I got too much response to the question of who here has also read "Pilgrim's Regress?"
Probably not well-understood. But, as the outline above shows, many of us could do well to "unlearn" a lot of what we think we know about Christianity.Who would want to be regressive other than the so-called *Progressives*? They have regressed into anarchy.
As to this book, it looks like is was not well received or understood.
