Abstract

Ignatius of Loyola and John Bunyan have, in their different but related ways, both left particularly powerful images of the way in which the journey of the spiritual life unfolds, the end towards which it should tend, and the temptations that meet us on the way. This article focuses first on Ignatius, and his Autobiography and Spiritual Exercises, seeing how he outlines the life of the pilgrim on her or his journey towards God. Then it turns to Bunyan, focusing, with the same intent, primarily on Grace Abounding and The Pilgrim's Progress. Bunyan is read through the prism of Ignatius, to see what light this can throw on the progress of the pilgrim John Bunyan in his Christian journey, and of the other pilgrim, Christian, on his journey towards the Celestial City. Reading Ignatius in this way also allows Bunyan to question and develop insights in Ignatius. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
