Author Scott Nash explores the theme of pilgrimage in the last nine books of the New Testament. Each book contributes a distinctive sound to the symphony of pilgrimage as the model for Christian living. Each book contributes a distinctive sound to the symphony of pilgrimage as the model for Christian living. Hebrews provides the overture with its call to begin the journey of faith and to be alert to the problems of setting out on the path to which Christians are summoned. James through Jude address the challenges of the journey itself. 1 Peter warns of the dangers that await the church from external threats. 2 Peter and Jude focus on the pitfall of misdirection that can come from within the church's own ranks, while the Johannine Letters probe the threat of internal dissension. The last book, Revelation, gives the reader a vision of the pilgrim church's final destination.
