The Pharisee And The Publican

Más información sobre el libro

The sermon explores the contrasting attitudes of a Pharisee and a Publican during prayer, highlighting themes of humility and self-righteousness. Using a passage from Luke, Bunyan illustrates the Pharisee's pride in his piety against the Publican's sincere plea for mercy. This reflection serves as a moral lesson on the nature of true repentance and the importance of recognizing one's sins. Bunyan's own journey from a morally questionable youth to a dedicated preacher enriches the sermon with personal insight and spiritual depth.
