The most trusted study guide to learning The Pilgrim’s Progress!

Understanding the The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan can be difficult and confusing at times. Not so with The Pilgrim’s Progress Study Guide! This comprehensive Bible study workbook will guide you through Bunyan’s masterful use of metaphors helping you better understand key concepts, supporting Bible passages, and the relevance to our world today.

The story chronicles the epic adventure of a man named Christian who leaves his home in the City of Destruction and begins a life-long quest to the Celestial City. Set against the backdrop of a hazardous journey, this powerful drama unfolds as Christian’s adventures lead him into fascinating lands and encounters with interesting people who either help or hinder his progress along a narrow way.

Designed to be used alongside The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Readable Modern-Day Version of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, each chapter, sub section, and study question examines Bunyan’s allegorical narrative to tell his powerful presentation of what it means to follow the narrow way of Christian salvation.

Although, there are many versions of this Bunyan classic, The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Readable Modern-Day Version of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress is the only book that is made specifically for this study. Each chapter, sub section, and study question are designed to be used in conjunction with each other. Other books will feel drastically different and not match up with the study questions and format of this study.

How long is the study?

The study is 12 weeks but can easily be reformatted based on your schedule.

Does each person in the study need their own book?

Is there much homework?

The only homework is to read one chapter each week and answer corresponding discussion questions prior to class.

Can anyone lead the study?

Absolutely! The study is created in a discussion format allowing leaders to simply guide participants through each study question at weekly meetings.

Can I get access to the answers for each discussion question?

Yes. The answers for each discussion question are available for free online! In addition, we provide a Scripture Reference sheet for each Bible passage to save time in class.

What age group is this study for?

This study is most appropriate for use with adults and teenagers.

In what formats is the book available?

The book is available in both print and e-book formats. However, print is most helpful when writing answers to discussion questions found in the book.

Alan Vermilye is an Amazon Best-Selling author of many books, including his modern-day revisions of The Pilgrim's Progress and The Life and Death of Mr. Badman. He is also the author of the most trusted study guides for many C. S. Lewis classics, including The Screwtape Letters, Screwtape Proposes a Toast, The Great Divorce, and The Problem of Pain. In addition, he’s written study guides for the Charles Dicken’s classic, A Christmas Carol, and his favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life.

The guide is a great companion to the book, helping you pull in scripture references used in the story and the underlying meanings and significance of the characters portrayed. I am also reading the book to my kids (ages 9 to 15) and the guide is making me look very smart as we review and summarize each chapter! I would highly recommend both the book and study guide!

If you are looking for a study to challenge and enhance your Christian/spiritual walk, either for self-study or with a group, then you have found it!!

These books are brilliantly done! Not only can I read the story of the Pilgrim's Progress with ease, but I also have the added bonus of a study guide that aids the book with deeper meaning through the study of Scripture to go alongside the wonderfully written masterpiece from John Bunyan. This is a wonderful addition to anyone's literature collection. It also makes the Pilgrim's Progress more accessible for this day and age because of the updated language. I really appreciated that. I also appreciated the fact that any changes that were made did not take away from the original book.
