Beschrijving

Composed in jail during the era of the Restoration, John Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666) describes the author's infidelity in early life, when he gave in to the temptations of the devil and enjoyed sinning. This is a true account of the struggles that changed him from a perpetual sinner to a religious scholar.
 John Bunyan, author of the great Christian allegory Pilgrim's Progress, was born into a tinker family. As a youth, he was tormented by fits of depression, dreams of fiends trying to fly away with him, and voices telling him to "sell Christ." He joined and preached to a Baptist society in Bedford, for which he was arrested and jailed for nearly 12 years. While in prison he wrote Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and began his allegorical masterpiece.
