Project Gutenberg 1999-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 371 Whyte, Alexander 1836 1921 Bunyan Characters (1st Series) Transcribed from the 1893 Oliphant Anderson and Ferrier edition by David Price "Bunyan Characters (1st Series)" by Alexander Whyte is a collection of lectures exploring the vividly drawn characters from John Bunyan's works, particularly focusing on moral and spiritual themes, written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the nature of character, comparing it to the biblical concepts of good and evil, and it sets a philosophical foundation upon which the characters of Bunyan's narratives are analyzed, including prominent figures like Christian, Obstinate, and Pliable. The opening of the text begins with a discussion on the profound concept of moral character, as outlined by Bishop Butler, and how it is depicted through the rich variety of Bunyan's characters. Whyte emphasizes that character is not merely an external display but a manifestation of one's inner will and heart condition. He introduces various figures from Bunyan's work and sets the stage for a deeper examination of their moral dispositions and the influences that shape them, illustrating how these characters are reflections of human nature and our struggles on the journey of life toward spiritual fulfillment. The narrative thrives on the interplay between personal trials, societal norms, and divine influence, prompting readers to reflect on their own character and moral standing in the world.
