The New Pilgrim’s Progress is a modern retelling of John Bunyan’s 17th century classic “Pilgrim’s Progress.” 

After leaving the City of Megachurch, Pilgrim and Truthful spend the night in the barn of an elderly couple, who show them Christian hospitality. In the morning they continue on their way and immediately meet the Four Horsemen of the New Atheism (also known as the Brights) coming toward them in a whirlwind. They warn the pilgrims of the folly of their journey and advise them to turn around. 

After leaving the horsemen the Way becomes more difficult, and they decide to take a detour where they meet Optimist. They encounter a storm and spend the night in a cabin, which is owned by the Dark Night. The Dark Night throws them into his dungeon where the pilgrims spend many days and nights in despair, doubting the goodness and existence of their Lord. Eventually they escape and continue on their journey.
