Synopsis

It is not often realised that the author of Pilgrim's Progress wrote a commentary on Genesis. As far as we know, Bunyan's incomplete Genesis commentary has not been separately published before - though it was published posthumously as part of a "Complete Works" collection in 1691. This edition contains notes from an 1853 edition by George Offor, as well as new preface and notes by Paul Taylor. Readers will enjoy owning and using this classic and valuable commentary from one of the leading lights of English theology and literature. Paul F Taylor is an international speaker on creation and apologetics. He is the author of several books, including The Six Days of Genesis, Cain and Abel and In the Beginning. He and his wife Geraldene live in Pensacola, Florida, and have five children between them. John Bunyan was born near Bedford in 1628. He was saved shortly after the Civil War. His first wife died young. Shortly after his second marriage, Bunyan was arrested and imprisoned for being an unauthorised preacher. He stayed in prison for many years, because he refused to give an undertaking not to preach the Gospel. It was in prison that the ideas for his allegories came to him, and he was able to publish them in the next few years following his eventual release.

About this title

About the Author:

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 Pilgrims Progress".

After his release, he became the pastor of a church in Bedord, England and continued to write and publish stirring works that have endured through time. Among these classics are "The Holy War; Bunyan's Visions of Heaven and Hell" and "Journey to Hell: The Life and Death of Mr. Badman."
