Postmodern Pilgrim's Progress

From the editor-in-chief and managing editor of The Babylon Bee, The Postmodern Pilgrim’s Progress follows a millennial seeker on a modern take of John Bunyan’s classic The Pilgrim’s Progress. As he journeys through a world full of allegorical versions of contemporary vices and timeless virtues, he faces challenges both comical and convicting.

Ryan Fleming, a young agnostic struggling with the recent death of his brother, reluctantly makes a promise to visit a church. But when a video projector falls on his head at a slick megachurch, Ryan is sent through a wormhole into another world. After narrowly escaping the oblivious City of Destruction, Ryan embarks on a quest to awaken the World-Maker, a long-sleeping King who can make all things new.

With a cast of characters inspired by modern American church life—including Radical, Mr. Satan, and the Smiling Preacher—this satirical and insightful tale mirrors the allegorical journey in Pilgrim's Progress. Expect to laugh, cry, cringe, and ultimately be changed as Ryan’s journey unfolds.

The Postmodern Pilgrim’s Progress is a witty and thought-provoking adventure from the creators of The Babylon Bee, the internet’s most influential satire site with 250,000 newsletter subscribers and more than 15 million page views per month.
