Seminars
 

Much of evangelical Christianity has lost its roots!
John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress
can help us return to the good paths.

 A Seminar on The Pilgrim's Progress
will bring us back to biblical essentials!


It is important to understand:    
 

The Pilgrim's Progress was primarily written for adults.

Seminar participants soon appreciate that Bunyan is addressing adult problems including carnality, depression, immorality, suicide, etc.,  by means of substantial Bible teaching. 

 

Four misunderstandings about
The Pilgrim's Progress.

 

Four essential teachings in
The Pilgrim's Progress.

  1. The Pilgrim's Progress was not intended for scholarly stimulation, even though it gives helpful insight into the English Puritanism of Bunyan's time.
  2. The Pilgrim's Progress is not simply an evangelistic tract since its main emphasis is on Christian spiritual growth.
  3. The Pilgrim's Progress was not primarily designed for children, though they are quickly attracted to its style and can easily benefit from its teaching.
  4. The Pilgrim's Progress is not a non-doctrinal moral novel, but rather a mini theology of biblical Christianity.
  1. The gospel of the sinner's only hope, the substitute  righteousness of Jesus Christ received through faith alone.
  2. The progressive sanctification of the saved sinner, as he traverses a wilderness world, that results in gradual spiritual maturity.
  3. The faithful local church, under godly leadership, as the Christian pilgrim's earthly refuge.
  4. The stimulant to perseverance of repeated vistas of the Celestial City with the hope of being with Christ in glory.
