The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism Free Audiobook Download by C.S. Lewis


The Pilgrim's Regress is a tedious read, but it poses an interesting question: What are the factors that led Lewis to abandon Christianity and embrace atheism? This book is a long narrative apology for Christianity, reason, and romanticism. Lewis attempts to argue that he did not abandon his Christian beliefs; rather, he abandoned them because they had been corrupted by the Enlightenment.

The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism is a work of fiction that takes place in the fictional British town of Market Deeping. Lewis portrays the town as a bastion of reason and science, but this is deceptive because the townsfolk are actually stoic, inward-looking individuals who shun reason and science. This narrative turns on a metaphor about an explorer who seeks out new territories to conquer but comes across a mysterious mountain that seems impossible to climb. The explorer resolves not to give up despite his failures to reach the top because he knows there will be an even greater success at the summit.

The Pilgrim's Regress is C.S. Lewis' insight into how the world around us may be full of demons and evil. The book, a mix between a novel and non-fiction, is an attack on Christianity as well as reason, romanticism, and rationalism in the modern world. The Pilgrim's Progress, the book that inspired this work and a work by other authors from different time periods such as John Bunyan, Jules Verne, and Dante Alighieri are mainly about Christian themes and allegories for spiritual growth.

The Pilgrim's Regress has been a long-time favorite of many audiobook listeners. Many people have called it the "most profound apologetic" in existence and a book that "gives new meaning to reason and romanticism." The main protagonist, as well as narrator, is "Simon Vance."

One of the most powerful and influential Christian theologians of all time, C.S. Lewis was a prolific author whose works have been translated into over 33 languages. One of his best-known works is "The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism." The main character in the book is named Walter, who has a journey to begin a life as a Christian in a medieval world. However, on his journey, he discovers that many of the truths that he had believed were false. As he continues to learn more about the world and himself, we can see how the book speaks to our modern world through allegories of science and fashion.

Atheism is a religion and religious belief is a philosophical position. In the essay "The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism," C.S. Lewis provides an explanation of what faith means to him. In the world of Lewis, God is not an objective entity that can be proven or disproven through logic or science like most philosophers believe but rather it's something much more personal to each individual.
