'The Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan

[gunghorjc]

I remember having a comic-book adaption of this story from when I was really, really young. It was updated to fit with the 'modern world'.

So I started this yesterday, and I'm about 15 pages into it. The writing, the language is going to take some getting used to.

I do love the way the story is progressing though, and the names for the characters. Christian as the main character, Evangelist the character to help guide his path to salvation, Worldy Wisdom as the character who tries to persuade Christian to seek an easier travelled road to get rid of his burdens, which Christian was persuaded to do. We are all tempted by World Wisdom is this way.

I can tell you this is a strong story already, and the story is filled with Biblical passages to guide it along. It's like the story was taken right from the pages of the Bible itself!

The Pilgrim's Progress is an amazing gift to the church.

yeah, I like that book. I read it when I first became a Christian. Great metaphor for the Christian walk.

Christ_empowered,

I see your post was some time ago, but I thought I would comment anyway. When you said the language takes some getting used to, I remember the same experience whenI first read it. After reading it a couple of times, I find the language wonderful. It's very different then our modern english, but the old english is still very effective in communicating the Gospel truth. I hope you enjoyed the Pilgrims Progress as much as I know many people have.
