Description
The purpose of this course is (1) to introduce a standard work of literature which richly illumines the Christian experience and deeply influences subsequent literature, (2) to encourage a thoughtful exploration of the theme of "spiritual pilgrimage" as explored in more recent literary works, and (3) to enable deeper reflection on personal experience of the Christian life by developing a repertoire of imagery and a range of genres through which to express spiritual experience. Lectures include:
- Spiritual Pilgrimage: Biblical, Literary, and Historical Roots
- Mapping the Christian Experience: The Puritan Pattern and Bunyan's Experience
- Pilgrimage as Allegory: The Pilgrim's Progress Part One
- Text and Intertext: Marginal Notes as Key to Bunyan's Theological Theme
