 Rating:  - This Hazelbaker edition is the best. Buy this one.This review is for ISBN-13: 978-0882707570 By all means, this is the edition to buy. I bought this one, AND another edition which was Bunyan's latest edition upon his death in 1688 (13th edition, I believe), and there really is no comparison.

We would wish the same for all modern translations of the Bible, something that most in circulation cannot claim due to their reliance first and foremost on the faulty, little used, hence, older (sic) Alexandrian ... Read More Rating:  - translatorial malpractice making me cry"Pilgrim's Progress in Modern English" is badly done. It simplifies the words, even perfectly modern words like "den" and "clothed," and proper names, but it can't make Bunyan's allegory or theology more transparent. The vocabulary is decreased, the older prose and newer dialog jar, and some of Bunyan's beautiful images are lost, without making the whole easier.
