| Summary |
"Kristityn vaellus: Tästä maailmasta siihen kun tuleva on" by John Bunyan is an allegorical novel written in the late 17th century. This classic work uses the character of Christian, a man burdened by his sins, who embarks on a transformative journey toward salvation. Throughout his travels, he encounters various characters and obstacles, symbolizing the spiritual struggles faced by humanity. The opening of the novel introduces us to Christian, who is depicted in a state of great distress due to the heavy burden of sin he carries. He becomes increasingly anxious about his fate and the impending judgment of his city. Despite the attempts of his family to comfort him, his unease grows, prompting him to seek out guidance. Eventually, he meets Evangelist, who directs him toward a narrow gate that symbolizes the path to salvation, motivating him to flee from his life of sin and embark on his journey, leaving behind his home and family. This sets the stage for Christian's adventures, filled with trials and lessons that reflect Bunyan's religious convictions and insights into the human condition.
