Summary |
“Works of John Bunyan — Volume 03” by John Bunyan is a collection of allegorical works likely written during the late 17th century. The central narrative within this volume is "The Pilgrim's Progress," which follows the journey of the main character, Christian, as he seeks salvation, facing various trials and encountering a number of symbolic figures along his path. The opening of "The Pilgrim's Progress" introduces Christian, who is burdened by a heavy load that symbolizes his sin. After a troubling dream, he resolves to seek a way to escape impending doom foretold in the book he reads. As he confides in his family about his spiritual plight, they dismiss his fears, leading him to leave in search of redemption. Throughout this initial segment, readers witness Christian's encounter with Evangelist, who offers direction toward the "Wicket Gate," representing the path to salvation. Christian's journey quickly unfolds as he meets various characters, such as Obstinate and Pliable, exemplifying the struggles between temptation and resolve, setting the stage for the spiritual and moral themes that permeate Bunyan's work.
