About this title

Synopsis

Join the Narrator and Mr. Researcher as they recruit characters from John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim's Progress to explore the book’s extensive afterlives: into the Pilgrimverse. Readers will hear expedition reports mapping the range of historic and contemporary reception of this spiritual classic. Be ready to explore the varied formats of books and adaptations, graphic novels, illustrations, board games, music albums, movies, and more. The journey will touch on issues of biblical fidelity, missions, gender, race, and sexuality, and will cross over from elite art to popular culture. This book is for long-time lovers of The Pilgrim's Progress and new or simply curious readers. Go ahead and jump in. But watch out for giants!
