The King's Hand in History

John Bunyan: The Storywriting Genius and Prince of Puritans (Ep. 15)


Listen Later

Chris and Casey discuss the life, literature, and legacy of

the author of the 2nd bestselling English book (and arguably the 1st novel), The Pilgrim’s Progress. They hit the highlights of this most famous of Puritan’s life, including his upbringing, tinkering trade, military service, married life, conversion, preaching, imprisonment, writing, and death. At the end, they note some of the most important lessons that believers can learn from his life, as well as one glaring fault in his life that we should avoid. Overall, Bunyan’s life teaches us to be self-abasing, Christ-exalting,
Bible-obsessed, courageous, unwavering, and industrious in our goal to imitate Jesus and win sinners to His side.
