Bøker av John Bunyan

Though we are not now to worship God in those methods, or by such ordinances as once the old church did; yet to know their methods, and to understand the nature and signification of their ordinances, when compared with the gospel; may even now, when themselves (as to what they once enjoined on others) are dead, minister light to us. And hence the New Testament ministers, as the apostles, made use of Old Testament language, and ceremonial institutions as to their signification, to help the faith of the godly in their preaching of the gospel of Christ. --from the PrefaceJohn Bunyan (1628-1688) was an English minister and the author of Pilgrim's Progress, The Holy War, and Grace Abounding.

The Pilgrim's Progress is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. He began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. The text is considered one of the most significant works of religious English literature.

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.
