John Bunyan: A Sketch of his Life, Times, and Contemporaries
No Customer Reviews
John Bunyan was one of the most remarkable of the English Puritans. An uneducated tinker, his conversion from a life of utter dissolution to a penetrating preacher and writer gave the Church one of its most profound spiritual authors. He was arrested for preaching the Gospel without a license, and locked away in a dark, damp jail for twelve years. During that time he wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, an allegory of a Christian making his way through the trials and obstacles of this world to the Promised Land. When The Pilgrim's Progress was finally published years later at his friends' requests, it became an instant classic. Even those who are enemies of the Cross of Christ have acknowledged Bunyan's book as one of the classics of modern English literature. For years it was required reading in schools and society. Spurgeon once said that you can "prick Bunyan anywhere and he will bleed Bible." He had a profound grasp on the Scriptures, and his books show it. His Bible was almost his only companion for years in the prison, where he could often be seen on his knees in front of it in prayer.
