Summary
Uneducated and thoroughly working class, John Bunyan seems an unlikely candidate for writing a world-famous, allegorical rendition of the Christian journey of faith. This imaginative work, Pilgrim's Progress, draws on the tumultuous English 17th century for its situations of temptation, suffering and perseverance. The origins of this riveting work, accounts of Bunyan's own Christian adventure, and a historical snapshot of England during the 1600's are yours in this issue of Christian History & Biography.
