The New Pilgrim's Progress - Part 2 - Beyond the Gate

from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis

The New Pilgrim’s Progress is a modern retelling of John Bunyan’s 17th century classic “Pilgrim’s Progress.” It is an allegorical pilgrimage through the landscape of 21st century American spirituality.In Part 2 Seeker comes to the Gate where he meets Sincerity and avoids the sniper Post-Modern. He continues to the Theologians House where he views a portrait of a Pastor and enters the Shrine of the Book. There he is given a tour of the various chapels surrounding the central rotunda. In these chapels are various interpreters of scripture including Inerrant & Infallible, King James Only, Creationist, Feminist, Paraphrase, and many more. From there he moves on to the Gallery of Christs. Following in the footsteps of J.K. Rowling, who had come before him (and got many ideas for her Harry Potter books), Seeker views an assortment of portraits of Jesus, including Sallman’s Head of Christ, an African Christ, a Revolutionary Christ, a Transgender Christ, and even Ricky Bobby’s Talladega Jesus.He finishes his tour of the Theologian House by stopping for a moment at the Mathematician Cubicle where he explores the Trinity, and then he proceeds out the door into the garden. There he sees three Apologists and two children named Faith and Works, playing on a teeter-tooter. From the edge of the Garden he glimpses a Cross on a hill in the distance and Seeker quickly takes his leave of Theologian to continue on his way.  View Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
