Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1678, 'The Pilgrim's Progress' is a Christian allegory and an influential literary model by John Bunyan, an English writer, and Puritan preacher. It has remained perhaps the best-loved and most-read of devotional fiction. It is a captivating allegory of man's religious journey in search of salvation and follows the pilgrim as he travels an obstacle-filled road to the Celestial City. Along the way, he is confronted by monsters and spiritual terrors, among them Worldly Wiseman, Giant Despair, and the demons of the Valley of the Shadow of Death. In plain yet effective and moving language, this adventure reveals John Bunyan's intense grasp of the Scriptures. Penned while in prison for refusing to compromise the gospel-it is a guide for the journey from death to life. The times have changed, but the landmarks and adversaries are very much the same.
Autorenporträt
John Bunyan was born in Bedfordshire, England, in 1628. A non-conformist writer and preacher, his quest for spiritual enlightenment brought him into constant conflict with the state and the clergy. He began to write The Pilgrim's Progress while in prison: it would go on to become one of the most famous allegories ever written, second only to the Bible amongst Christian texts.
