John Bunyan's classic allegory of the Christian journey of pilgrimage has never lost its power to teach the important truths of faith. We may prefer our allegories to be a little more sophisticated these days and feel that characters such as Mr. Worldy Wise, Mr. Talkative, Giant Despair, Mercy, and Great Heart are far from subtle.
Yet Bunyan never wanted us in any doubt as to the thrust of his story, and if we can lay aside our 21st-century tendency to equate plain speaking with naivety, then A Pilgrim's Progress speaks to us as plainly as it has to generations before about the simple yet profound truths of the Christian faith.
Narrated by Simon Hester with original music.
