Produktbeschreibung
This classic of Christian autobiography John Bunyan is timeless in its wisdom, wherein the author wrestles with his convictions of belief in the divine. For centuries a leading source on the Puritanical movement and its adherents, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners remains a regularly consulted text by theologians, religious historians and the general reader. The title itself is a composite reference to two famous Biblical passages: Romans 5:20 and Timothy 1:15. As well as discussing the process through which he found his Christian faith, Bunyan is forthright about the personal struggles he had with belief. Hardship was a reality for Bunyan, who drafted this book while incarcerated for preaching without a proper license. For Bunyan the possibility of salvation by the Lord was a constant preoccupation, and a motivation for authoring multiple works on faith and leading the life he led.
Autorenporträt
John Bunyan was born in Bedfordshire, England, in 1628. A non-conformist writer and preacher, his quest for spiritual enlightenment brought him into constant conflict with the state and the clergy. He began to write The Pilgrim's Progress while in prison: it would go on to become one of the most famous allegories ever written, second only to the Bible amongst Christian texts.
