Amazon.com description: Product Description: John Bunyan of Bedford (1628-1688) is one of the most celebrated of English authors, and this re-evaluation of his life and work not only touches his religious and political interests but also aims to reveal a man less revolutionary and more opportunistic than previously surmised. There are separate chapters on each of the major works and an in-depth consideration of a wide-ranging body of publications on doctrine and practical divinity. Bunyan's life, personality and experience are covered, with his views on family life, business ethics and women investigated.
