Об авторе
John Bunyan (1628–1688) was an English writer and Baptist preacher best known for his Christian allegory ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress.’ Born in Elstow, Bedfordshire, Bunyan’s early life was marked by several turns of fortune, from serving in the Parliamentary Army during the English Civil War to various times of financial hardship. Despite his limited formal education, Bunyan’s religious conviction and natural intellect led him to become a prominent preacher and author. His illegal preaching resulted in a 12-year imprisonment during which he penned a significant part of his enduring masterpiece, ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’ and other notable works. After his release, he continued to write and preach until his death in 1688. ‘The Riches of Bunyan: Selected from His Works’ is a testament to his vast influence and represents a collection of his thoughts and theological musings. His distinctive narrative voice and ability to imbue theological concepts with vitality and relatability have left a lasting impact on English literature and Christian thought. Bunyan’s contribution to didactic literature is marked by his use of allegory and narrative to explicate moral and spiritual principles.
