Christian Allegory

Christian allegory is a literary device where characters, events, and symbols represent deeper spiritual truths or moral lessons related to Christianity. It uses storytelling to convey complex ideas about faith, salvation, and morality in a way that resonates on multiple levels. For example, in John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress," the journey of the protagonist, Christian, symbolizes the spiritual journey of believers toward salvation. Through allegory, writers can illustrate abstract theological concepts in a relatable manner, making the teachings of Christianity accessible and meaningful to their audience.
