The Pilgrim's Progress
324 pages · First published 1678
Christian, burdened by the knowledge of sin, leaves the City of Destruction and begins a journey toward the Celestial City. Along the way he encounters places and figures such as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, Faithful, Hopeful, Giant Despair, and Doubting Castle. Every obstacle functions simultaneously as adventure and Protestant spiritual allegory. John Bunyan’s seventeenth-century classic has influenced centuries of Christian writing by turning the inner life of faith—conversion, temptation, perseverance, fellowship, and hope—into a literal road traveled by a named pilgrim.
