Pilgrim Institute has packaged a thirteen (13) week (lesson) study and study guide for the individual, small group, Sunday School, or church-wide study. Links to these lessons can be found in the right column.
Bunyan develops the story as a pilgrimage a trip/walk from one place (City of Destruction) to the destination (Celestial City). As one reads and meditates on this story, we will soon discover it is many metaphors that make an allegory for a spiritual pilgrimage that involves justification (conviction/confession/repentance) and sanctification (commitment – fruit-bearing) and ends with glorification as one enters heaven (Celestial City).
Our study material of the Pilgrim Progress book guides you not only to an understanding of the book but to a deeper walk/pilgrimage in one spiritual walk of faith.
Lessons 12 & 13 use Hawthorne’s short story “The Celestial Railroad” as a powerful illustration to show many of the problems of modern-day Christianity.
