The pilgrim's regress C. S. Lewis · 1933 · ★ 3.9 · 205p · ≈ 6h · Challenging One of Lewis's earlier works, this book is a similar parable to Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress"; while "Pilgrim's Progress" describes the journey of a non-Christian coming into Christianity, "The Pilgrim's Regress" describes the journey of a man from a Christian background leaving Christianity and then coming back again.
