Pilgrims and Pilgrimages as Peacemakers in Christianity, Judaism and Islam (Compostela International Studies in Pilgrimage History and Culture)
by Antón M. PazosPilgrimages can be analysed as acts of conflict - such as the Crusades - or also as platforms for relationship building and rapprochement between religions. With a set of contributions from leading experts in the field, this book explores the concept of pilgrimage in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Some specific examples of pilgrimages that helped to strengthen links between different religions or civilisations are explored, ranging from Europe to Asia and from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Even though every pilgrimage that is investigated here has helped to link different worlds, the case studies show that this relationship rarely led to a better in inter-understanding. Nowadays, peaceful coexistence seems to be its greatest achievement.
The Pilgrim’s Compass: Finding And Following The God We Seek
by Paul LangAs we make our way into the twenty-first century, many Christians are looking for an expression of discipleship that speaks meaningfully to our time, a faith yearning that is at once personally intimate and relevant and that grows out of and nurtures authentic Christian community. <P><P> The Pilgrim's Compass shepherds readers through a metaphorical pilgrimage to consider one's life a journey for faith formation. Using this book as a guide to help Christians consider their journey as they walk through the four stages of intentional faithfulness, disciples will encounter God, wrestle with God, be wounded as will God, and be reborn as a new person with a new name. The Pilgrim's Compass encourages individuals to embrace the ancient practice of pilgrimage both as metaphor for the daily walk of discipleship and as an intentional journey of faith, which uses prayerful travel to assist an inner transformation.
Pilgrims in Their Own Land: 500 Years of Religion in America
by Martin E. Marty"Pilgrims in Their Own Land" is in one sense a study of migration, with each wave of immigrants bringing a set of religious beliefs to a new world. The narrative unfolds through sharply detailed biographical vignettes-stories of religious "pathfinders", including William Penn, Mary Baker Eddy, Henry David Thoreau, and many other leaders of movements, both marginal and mainstream. In addition, Marty considers the impact of religion on social issues such as racism, feminism, and utopianism. And engrossing, highly readable, and comprehensive history, "Pilgrims in Their Own Land" is written with respect, appreciation, and insight into the multitude of religious groups that represent expressions of spirituality in America.

Pilgrims of Love: The Anthropology of a Global Sufi Cult
by Pnina Werbner"... will be of interest not only to those concerned with Pakistan and the new Muslim presence in Europe, but also to those interested in an anthropological study of religion." --Barbara Metcalf, University of California, DavisPnina Werbner traces the development of a Sufi Naqshbandi order founded by a living saint, Zindapir, whose cult originated in Pakistan and has extended globally to Britain, Europe, the Middle East, and southern Africa. Drawing on 12 years of fieldwork in Pakistan and Great Britain, she elucidates the complex organization of Sufi orders as regional and transnational cults, and examines how such cults are manifested through ritual action and embodied in sacred mythology and global diasporas. A focus of the study is the key event in the order's annual ritual cycle, a celebration in which tens of thousands of people gather at the saint's lodge in Pakistan and in the streets of Britain. Werbner challenges accepted anthropological and sociological truths about Islam and modernity, and reflects on her own role as ethnographic observer. Pilgrims of Love is a major contribution to our understanding of disaporic Islamic practices, highlighting the vitality of Sufi orders in the postcolonial world.

The Pilgrim's Progress
by John BunyanThis book, the most perfect allegory ever produced, has been more widely read in English than any other book except the Bible. The English of the book is pure and strong; but its great power lies neither in its English nor in the perfection of the allegory, but in the fact that in picturing his own religious struggles, Bunyan pictured those of other men as well. Stylistically, Bunyan combines simplicity with rare earnestness. He had something to say, and in his in most soul he felt that this something was of supreme importance for all time. He also had a rare combination of imagination and dramatic power. His abstractions became living persons. It would be difficult to find English prose that is more simple, earnest, strong, imaginative, and dramatic than this work. Bunyan's style felt the shaping influence of the Bible more than of all other works combined. He knew the Scriptures almost by heart. It is no wonder that in the allegories of the world's literature, The Pilgrim's Progress stands out as a masterpiece written to people of every age and condition.

by John Bunyan Introduction Notes BY ANAND KUMAR RAJUthe way and race of saints: The book is probably The Heavenly Footman (second edition, 1698) which teaches the Christian ‘so to run that he may obtain’. ad infinitum: In his The Doctrine of the Law and Grace Unfolded Bunyan says, ‘I never went to school to Aristotle or Plato, but was brought up at my father’s house in a very mean condition, among a company of poor countrymen’. still as I pull’d: Like flax on the distaff, when the spinner takes hold of an end and draws it towards her, twisting it between her finger and thumb to form a continuous thread,’

The Pilgrim's Progress and Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners
by John BunyanNow available together in a single volume, these two classics were written by seventeenth-century England's most famous prisoner of conscience, Baptist John Bunyan (1628-1688). Imprisoned for twelve years for his preaching, he wrote first a dramatic allegory of Christian life and followed it with the compelling story of his own conversion. Both have been beloved by generations of spiritual seekers and still speak powerfully to modern readers. Pilgrim's Progress recounts the perilous journey of Christian from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, and in its second part, follows the journey of his wife, Christiana. Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners is Bunyan's fervent memoir of his own spiritual regeneration. Both works are enduring masterpieces of English prose, uniting the simple power of Biblical language with the vivid bluntness of untutored speech.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Pilgrim's Regress
by C. S. LewisThe first book written by C. S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, the record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction -- a search that eventually led him to Christianity.<P> Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing 7mdash; a mysterious, sweet desire. John's pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the Valley of Humiliation.<P> Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Lewis's allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say simply and through fantasy what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.
