Pilgrim's Progress is John Bunyan's great Christian allegory of sin, salvation, temptation, perseverance, and the soul's journey toward God. Christian, burdened by the knowledge of his sin, leaves the City of Destruction and sets out for the Celestial City. Along the way he passes through the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, Doubting Castle, the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and other trials that give dramatic form to the inward struggles of the Christian life.
First published in 1678, with the second part following in 1684, Pilgrim's Progress became one of the most widely read works of English Protestant literature and one of the most influential religious books in the English language. Its power lies in the clarity of its allegory: Bunyan turns doctrine, doubt, fear, courage, backsliding, false confidence, and grace into places, persons, and encounters that remain immediately recognisable. The book is devotional, theological, and literary at once, a work of Puritan imagination that shaped Christian reading for centuries.
For readers of Christian classics, Protestant devotional literature, spiritual growth, religious allegory, and early English prose, Pilgrim's Progress remains essential: plain in style, severe in moral vision, and enduring in its account of the soul's progress from conviction to hope.
