The Barren Fig Tree - John Bunyan - Paperback

by John Bunyan (Author)

This Christian Classic - The Barren Fig Tree -- introduces and orients the reader to critical biblical/theological thinking. Bunyan's presentation is written with a clarity that fosters biblical thought and facilitates Bible comprehension. You won't be disappointed.

John Bunyan--author of Pilgrim's Progress, at one time second only to the Bible in its popularity--writes on Jesus' parable of the "barren fig tree" which was given a second chance: three years to bear fruit. Bunyan himself was imprisoned for the Gospel, and uses his broad knowledge of Scripture to paint a worthy picture of God's mercy and justice in this parable: he gives every man and woman time and a chance to seek repentance, but the time does not last forever.

It's impossible to measure the influence of John Bunyan over the centuries. His works remain in print and are widely read, which shouldn't surprise us.
