Neste livro, Bunyan narra a viagem de Cristão, um peregrino espiritualmente abatido que viaja rumo a Cidade Celestial.O Peregrino inicia com um poema no qual descreve os motivos para o livro e a razão de usar formas alegóricas (semelhante aos autos do teatro medieval) para contar a aventura do viajante que se encontra com personagens de carne e osso, mas que possuem nomes simbólicos que remetem ao evangelho de Jesus Cristo, como Evangelista, Adulação, Malicia, Apoliom e Vigilância. Um clássico cristão que ainda hoje tem um importante papel como guia sobre a perseverança em meio a dificuldades.

Bunyans Klassiker der christlichen LiteraturSeit mittlerweile fast 350 Jahren prägt John Bunyans kraftvolle Allegorie "Die Pilgerreise" den Glauben vieler Christen. Sie erzählt die zeitlose Geschichte von Christian, der auf seinem Weg in die himmlische Stadt mit vielen Hindernissen und Gefahren zu kämpfen hat. Doch es ist viel mehr als eine Allegorie: Es ist einerseits die persönliche Geschichte des Kesselflickers Bunyan und andererseits die Geschichte eines jeden von uns, der die gleiche Reise unternimmt.John Bunyan (1628-1688) war von Beruf Kesselflicker. Er war ein bewunderter, aber auch verfolgter Prediger, der über zwölf Jahre im Gefängnis saß. Dort entstand u. a. "Die Pilgerreise", eines der meistübersetzten Werke der Weltliteratur.

The Heavenly Footman¿A Description of the Man That Gets to Heaven is a historical religious studies/Christian education classic by John Bunyan. This great old book features this passage: "Friends, Solomon saith, that "the desire of the slothful killeth him;" and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it? The proverb is, "He that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame:" and this I dare be bold to say, no greater shame can befall a man, than to see that he hath fooled away his soul, and sinned away eternal life."

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666) is a spiritual autobiography by English author and Puritan preacher John Bunyan. Written while Bunyan was serving a lengthy prison sentence for preaching without a license, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is both a record of Bunyan's personal experience, the story of his conversion, and a document of a time of historical and political crisis in England. The restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660-which followed years of sectarian violence and the 1649 execution of his father Charles I-initiated a period of religious and political repression. Nonconformist Christians, and preachers especially, were forbidden from practicing their faith, a crime for which Bunyan was arrested. He was tried and convicted in 1661, spending the next twelve years in Bedford County Gaol.Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, written and published during this period, is the story of Bunyan's life, focusing on his conversion to Puritanism and his personal trials as a man punished for his beliefs. Containing numerous biblical references, Bunyan's work is similar to Saint Augustine's Confessions in its compositional structure-beginning with the author's sinful youth, it moves through his process of conversion to his growth as a Christian and rise to the status of preacher. Where it differs, however, is in its detailed description of Bunyan's arrest and imprisonment, a time he relied on his belief in God to carry him safely through.While less popular than The Pilgrim's Progress, a Christian allegory Bunyan began writing in jail, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is an important and powerful work which has inspired generations of Christians, including John Brown and Martin Luther King Jr.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) is a Christian allegory by English writer and Puritan preacher John Bunyan. Begun during Bunyan's twelve-year imprisonment for refusing to abide by English laws forbidding nonconformist evangelism, The Pilgrim's Progress is his most famous work as well as one of the most republished works in English literary history. Often cited as the first English novel, The Pilgrim's Progress is told as a dream sequence from the point of view of an omniscient narrator.In the first book of The Pilgrim's Progress, a man named Christian has a crisis of faith that forces him to reconcile with his sinful past and encourages him to seek salvation by any means necessary. Unsure at first, he is guided by the figure Evangelist, who directs him along the path to the Wicket Gate and instructs him to follow the shining light. On his journey, Christian meets numerous figures, including Pliable, who follows him into the Slough of Despond before freeing himself and abandoning the story's hero. There, Christian is saved by Help, and continues his journey, encountering Mr. Worldly Wiseman and Mr. Legality, who attempt to sway him from his path to salvation with their knowledge of ethics and the law. But Christian is rescued from their midst by Evangelist, who once again points the way to the Wicket Gate, and through it the path out of the City of Destruction toward the fabled Celestial City. The second book recounts the journey of Christian's wife and children, who follow his path with the hope that they will join him in attaining spiritual deliverance.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
