Pilgrim’s Progress Lecture - What is Giant Despair? - Tom Sullivan In this study, we go into detail on the subject of deep spiritual depression, the definition of spiritual melancholy. We look at a number of test cases and finally discuss the cures. Finally, we look at Christian and Hopeful’s escape from Doubting Castle. John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress in two parts, of which the first appeared at London in 1678,which he had begun during his imprisonment in 1676. The second part appeared in 1684. The earliest edition in which the two parts were combined in one volume came out in 1728. A third part falsely attributed to Bunyan appeared in 1693. The Pilgrim's Progress is the most successful allegory ever written, and like the Bible has been extensively translated into other languages. http://www.puritanaudiobooks.net/ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny Puritan Reformed Audiobooks playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzOwqed_gET1LMZlDNOqxx58LREHCiLsD This is the 1st of two lessons on Christian and Faithful in Vanity Fair. Such things are discussed such as the error of holiness in Fundamental Baptist churches compared to true sanctification as taught in our confessions. The lesson contains a quote from Increase Mather, Samuel Pike and Samuel Hayward Cases of Conscience, and the introduction to John Owen’s Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded to check if Vanity Fair, with its allurements, has entered into our affections. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "What Do You Want? - Oswald Chambers / Christian Devotional / My Utmost for His Highest" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DDzA9Ymtck -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
