The Life Of John Bunyan

By Edmund Venables and John Parker Anderson

Book Overview

The Life of John Bunyan is a biographical work written by Edmund Venables that explores the life and legacy of the famous English writer and preacher, John Bunyan. The book delves into Bunyan's early life, his conversion to Christianity, and his subsequent imprisonment for preaching without a license. It also examines his most famous work, The Pilgrim's Progress, which has become a classic of Christian literature. Venables provides a detailed account of Bunyan's life, including his struggles with poverty, his family life, and his eventual release from prison. The book is a comprehensive and engaging look at the life of one of England's most celebrated writers and religious figures.The Pilgrim, having now floundered through the Slough of Despond, passed through the Wicket Gate, climbed the Hill Difficulty, and got safe by the Lions, entered the Palace Beautiful, and was ""had in to the family."" In plain words, Bunyan united himself to the little Christian brotherhood at Bedford, of which the former loose- living royalist major, Mr. Gifford, was the pastor, and was formally admitted into their society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
