The Pilgrim's Progress

This worldwide bestseller by John Bunyan has influenced countless Christians and authors since its publication in 1678. The Pilgrim’s Progress is an allegory written in archaic language (lightly edited or updated versions are available). Read it first as a thrilling adventure, then re-read it to enjoy the theological meaning within the story. An interesting fact: it is widely believed that Bunyan began writing the book during imprisonment due to religious persecution.
