Correct answer: c) An Allegory
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
"The Pilgrim’s Progress", is a religious allegory by the English writer John Bunyan. He published in two parts in 1678 and 1684. The work is a symbolic vision of the good man’s pilgrimage through life. At first time, only the Bible was in popularity. The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most famous Christian allegory still in print. It was first published in the reign of Charles II and then he was primarily written while its Puritan author was imprisoned for offences against the Conventicle. It is the cost of salvation. As Christian's journey proves, the road to Heaven is not easy. The faithful Christian must be willing to pay the price no matter what. Man is full of sin, but this does not keep him from attaining glory.
