Pilgrim's Progress was published on February 18, 1678, by the Englishman John Bunyan. This book is a Christian allegory, divided into two parts. The first is about a pilgrim, called Christian, and his journey to the celestial city. The second is about how the other members of his family followed after him on pilgrimage.[1]
Virtually every colonial home in New England had a copy of Pilgrim's Progress, and it was a best-seller worldwide.
Here is a sample from the book:
- Christian ran thus till he came at a place somewhat ascending, and upon that place stood a cross ... So I saw in my dream, that just as Christian came up with the cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, and fell from off his back.
- ↑ The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan, The Christian Library, 1984.
