Bunyan's Bibline Blood

Reading through the Pilgrim's Progress, I'm reminded again and again of how Charles Spurgeon said of Buynan that if you pricked him, he'd bleed bibline. At many points in the narrative, biblical references come in virtually every other line for pages (e.g., pp. 90-91). Buynan lived, ate, drank, breathed Bible. He must have taken long walks through it's pages every day.

May we be enabled to follow in those Bible-saturated steps! May the educated among us especially learn from that tinker! Let's be men and women of one book!
