A nova tradução (1999) combina fidelidade ao texto de Bunyan com linguagem atual. O peregrino é uma narrativa cheia de emoção e suspense. Bunyan relata a viagem de Cristão, um peregrino espiritualmente abatido que viaja rumo à Cidade Celestial.

O Peregrino inicia com um poema no qual descreve os motivos para a obra e a razão de usar formas alegóricas (semelhante aos autos do teatro medieval) para contar a aventura do viajante que se encontra com personagens de carne e osso, mas que possuem nomes simbólicos que remetem ao evangelho de Jesus Cristo, como Evangelista, Adulação, Malicia, Apoliom e Vigilância.
