For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

Often disguised as something that would help him, evil accompanies Christian on his journey to the Celestial City. As you walk with him, you'll begin to identify today's many religious pitfalls. These are presented by men such as Pliable, who turns back at the Slough of Despond; and Ignorance, who believes he's a true follower of Christ when he's really only trusting in himself.

Still, by the devil's sophistry, some of the most pious Christians have been puzzled and bewildered.

Wegen seines Glaubens wurde Bunyan verfolgt und verbrachte lange Zeit im Gefängnis. Während seiner Haftzeit schrieb er “The Pilgrims Progress“, das unter dem Titel “Christen auf dem Weg zur Ewigkeit“ erschienen ist. Die darin geschilderte Reise ist eine Metapher für den Weg, den ein Mensch antreten muss, um nach diesem Leben ein Einwohner der himmlischen Stadt werden zu können.

In dieser Autobiographie zeigt John Bunyan, wie ergreifend sich Gottes Erbarmen in seinem Leben zeigte. Er macht besonders deutlich, welche Mühe die Sünde mit sich bringt und mit welchen Anfechtungen er zu kämpfen hatte, aber auch, welche Kraft das Evangelium hat, das ihn befreite. Die zutiefst bewegende Geschichte von John Bunyan motiviert den Leser, der Gnade Gottes zu vertrauen. Denn es ist wirklich möglich, den Kreislauf sündigen Verhaltens zu durchbrechen und so von Grund auf zu Gottes Ehre verändert zu werden.

"The Pilgrim's Progress" di John Bunyan fu pubblicato tra il 1678 e il 1684. Si tratta di un'allegoria cristiana in cui il protagonista, Cristiano, affronta un percorso di redenzione dai propri peccati affrontando via via tentazioni e nemici aperti: troveremo così ad esempio la Palude dello Scoraggiamento, o il Gigante Disperazione. Dopo sei anni dalla pubblicazione del primo libro, l'autore scrisse poi un secondo libro (che venne poi pubblicato, da quel momento sempre insieme al primo, creando così una prima e una seconda parte).
