Book Synopsis

Understanding the The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan can be difficult and confusing at times.

Not so with The Pilgrim's Progress Study Guide! This comprehensive Bible study workbook will guide you through Bunyan's masterful use of metaphors helping you better understand key concepts, supporting Bible passages, and the relevance to our world today.

The story chronicles the epic adventure of a man named Christian who leaves his home in the City of Destruction and begins a life-long quest to the Celestial City. Set against the backdrop of a hazardous journey, this powerful drama unfolds as Christian's adventures lead him into fascinating lands and encounters with interesting people who either help or hinder his progress along a narrow way. With a gallery of memorable characters and visits to colorful places, Bunyan's allegorical narrative describes one man's extraordinary adventure on his journey to faith.

Designed to be used alongside The Pilgrim's Progress: A Readable Modern-Day Version of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, each chapter, sub section, and study question examines Bunyan's allegorical narrative to tell his powerful presentation of what it means to follow the narrow way of Christian salvation.
