'As I walk'd through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a Dream.'

John Bunyan (1628 1688) was born in Elstow, England,
and his life was spared twice in his early years, something he
believed God had done for a special purpose. In November
1660, when Bunyan arrived to preach in the little town of
Lower Samsell, he was informed that a warrant had been
issued for his arrest. Unwilling to denounce his Christian faith
and his calling to the ministry, he was imprisoned for twelve
years. Among the many writings he published during his
imprisonment are The Holy City, Grace Abounding to the Chief
of Sinners, and the most famous, The Pilgrim's Progress. After
his release, he continued to write and publish stirring works
that have endured through time. Among these classics are The
Holy War, Visions of Heaven and Hell, and Journey to Hell: The
Life and Death of Mr. Badman.
The Pilgrim's Progress (Part I 1678/Part II 1684) holds a unique place in the history of English literature. No other seventeenth-century work except the King James Bible, nothing from the pen of a writer of Bunyan's social class in any period, and no other Christian work, has enjoyed such an extensive readership. The pilgrim Christian, Mr Worldly Wiseman, Giant Despair, Hopeful, and Ignorance are engaged in a powerful drama set against a solidly realistic background of town and country. Bunyan captures the speech of ordinary people as accurately as he depicts their behaviour and appearance and as firmly as he realizes their inner emotional and spiritual life. The tale is related in language remarkable for its beauty and simplicity, and is spiced with Bunyan's acute and satirical perceptions of the vanity and hypocrisy of his own society.
