It is a Christian classic that deserves a wide modern readership.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Publisher\u2019s Foreword<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>The Context and the Text<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>The Gift and the Giver<\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Coming to Christ<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Christ Receiving Sinners<\/td>\n<td>67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Returning Sinners Will Not Be Cast Out<\/td>\n<td>96<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>The Father Draws Us to Christ<\/td>\n<td>129<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>A Welcome for Fearful Sinners<\/td>\n<td>149<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>The Doctrine Applied<\/td>\n<td>192<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Analysis<\/td>\n<td>227<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a thorough exposition of John 6:37, Bunyan expresses his delight and joy in the free and gracious welcome given to sinners by Christ. 224pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5672,1228,1270],"product_tag":[5595,3748,20460],"class_list":{"0":"post-656","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-sale-puritan-paperbacks","7":"product_cat-sermons-and-expositions","8":"product_cat-theology","9":"product_tag-ebooks","10":"product_tag-hyper-calvinism","11":"product_tag-winter-special","12":"pa_binding-ebook","13":"pa_binding-paperback","14":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","15":"pa_class-bq","16":"pa_era-17th-century","17":"pa_format-book","18":"pa_isbn-4958","19":"pa_original-pub-date-3927","20":"pa_page-count-2576","21":"pa_recent-pub-date-mar-1-2004","22":"pa_scripture-john-new-testament","23":"pa_series-puritan-paperbacks","24":"pa_theauthor-bunyan-john","25":"pa_topic-general-theology","26":"pa_topic-salvation","28":"first","29":"instock","30":"purchasable","31":"product-type-variable","32":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
