• Inviting introductions highlight the work’s significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence.
• Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed.
• An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition.

Andy Draycott is Professor of Theology at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. His research focuses on reception history of The Pilgrim's Progress and the range of theological and ethical questions raised in response to the book.
