Summary "Bunyan Characters (2nd Series)" by Alexander Whyte is a collection of lectures that delve into the characters and themes found within John Bunyan's notable works, particularly "The Pilgrim's Progress," written during the late 19th century. This series explores various figures such as Ignorance and Little-Faith, applying allegorical interpretations to address spiritual truths and moral lessons regarding faith, self-awareness, humility, and the dangers of superficial belief vs. genuine understanding. The opening of this work introduces the character of Ignorance, portraying him as a well-dressed and seemingly self-assured young man embarking on a metaphoric pilgrimage but lacking true spiritual awareness. The old pilgrims he encounters question his understanding of faith and his perceived ease on the journey, as Ignorance is oblivious to his true condition. There's an exploration of pride and the hypocrisy that can stem from ignorance of one's own heart. Whyte sets the tone for a deep theological reflection on the nature of true repentance, the essence of faith, and the importance of self-knowledge, creating a foundation for further character studies in the subsequent sections.
