At Emmaus we believe that God has given parents, especially fathers the authority and responsibility to train and instruct children up in the Lord. In addition, we believe that God has ordained the gathering of all generations, young to old, to worship Him together in one place and at one time. Therefore, each and every Sunday our children worship the Lord alongside their parents and other members of God’s family.
Learn MoreEmmaus Reformed Baptist Church is committed to the fullfilment of the Great Commision given by our Lord when he said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV), through the planting of local churches, both at home and abroad.
OVERVIEW
The Pilgrim’s Progress, written by John Bunyan over 300 years ago, is one of the most widely-circulated books ever to be published in the English language. In spite of its popularity in the past, many people today are not familiar with this masterpiece. Join us for this class as we take a guided tour of this allegorical work, showing that Christians have as much to gain from this book today as they did hundreds of years ago.
Text(s): The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
Penguin Classics Version (this is the version that will be referenced during the class)
A Modernized Version
COURSE SCHEDULE
October 22nd, 2017
1 – The City of Destruction
Recommended Reading: You might enjoy reading the introductory material (in the Penguin Classics edition) prior to the first lecture. It is recommend that you read page 1 through the second full paragraph on page 14 in the week following the first lecture. For those reading from the modernized version, I think it would be best to simply read a chapter after each lecture, though the chapter breaks and the lectures will not perfectly correspond.
