Digging Deeper | Sunday, 9:45am | Wesley Room - Starting Sept. 8
Into Pilgrim’s Progress
You are invited to join us for this 12 week study. DIGGing Deeper will be studying Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature a progenitor of the narrative aspect of Christian media. It has been translated into more than 200 languages and has never been out of print.
Written in 1678 while Bunyan was in prison, it is written in the language of the time which can be quite difficult reading for the modern reader. There are many versions that have been updated but the one we will be using was updated by Alan Vermilye of Brown Chair Books available from Brown Chair Books or Amazon. Without losing any faithfulness to the original text, now you can read Bunyan’s timeless classic and reimagine this famous quest that has challenged and encouraged believers for centuries.
