A bulk of good reviews are certainly from Christians, but there are still a number of people Christian faith who still gave praise to the book. As mentioned elsewhere, even those of more secular or beliefs still hold respect for the book for much of its forward thinking morals

By contrast, [[http://www.ebonmusings.org/essays/books/pilgrimsprogress.html the only known review made by an atheist]] (by author Adam Lee) [[CausticCritic completely excoriates it]].

** The basic method of the final test. Repeat the miracle of Jesus and Peter walking on water to cross the moat into heaven. Simple. Believe truly and you can do it. But as a climax, each of the Pilgrims succeeds brilliantly.

** On the other hand, from a religious viewpoint, these are the more pernicious villains. People who genuinely don't understand the need for faith and forgiveness as well as people who say good things and talk about good works without actually doing anything about either. It's easy to not be a genuinely horrible person. It's much harder to avoid these lesser problems.

Seinfeld Is Unfunny entry is invalid because there is no discussion of how it can be perceived differently because of modern works or its influence.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: ''The Pilgrim's Progress'' can be a difficult read for some readers today, including Christians, who aren't able or willing to look past the ValuesDissonance, directness and general preachiness of the book. The language doesn't help either, although there are editions with more modern writing.

Perhaps the best example is in the second part of Pilgrim's Progress; the story of Christian's wife and children has them take up arms and help people including the mentally-challenged. This affirms that God is available for all and women, children and the mentally challenged can be brave pilgrims as well. This was written in the 17th century, when society had values such as throwing the mentally challenged in a BedlamHouse, and most women were expected to StayInTheKitchen or make babies.
