Parable and Allegory in Bunyan and Modern Theologians
A mixed critique of Dr Black s Bunyan commentary and Partridge on Citizenship versus Secularists. The review weighs allegory against doctrine, notes strengths in human insight, yet finds some ideas uneven and overly dogmatic. It also surveys Passmore s Compendium of Evangelical Theology and a Memorial Volume of sermons by Rev Robert French.
