Beschrijving

John Bunyan wrote Christian Behaviour (1674) from his cells while he was imprisoned. He has used Bible as the sole source for the work. Explaining to the Christians, the objectives and aims of their spiritual lives, he puts forward the outlines for their general conduct and behaviour. Drawing from the conduct of Jesus Christ himself, he portrays a lifestyle that should be followed by the true believers.
 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.
