Seventeenth-century Puritan theologian John Bunyan wrote The Life and Death of Mr. Badman as a companion piece to The Pilgrim's Progress, the literary work for which Bunyan is best remembered. Although both works are Christian allegories that provide the reader with moral and spiritual instruction, The Pilgrim's Progress accomplishes this goal primarily via the positive example of the protagonist, while The Life and Death of Mr. Badman does the opposite; Pilgrim is ultimately destined for heaven, while Mr. Badman is destined for hell. The two works also differ in their format. Pilgrim's story is presented as a dream sequence, while Mr. Badman's story is instead told via a dialogue between two other characters: Mr. Wiseman, who relates Mr. Badman's narrative and draws life lessons from it, and Mr. Attentive, who asks prompting questions and makes comments on the tale he hears. Throughout the story, Bunyan details a variety of Mr. Badman's sins including lying, swearing, and Sabbath-breaking.

The Holy War is perhaps John Bunyan's second most popular work, after The Pilgrim's Progress. It tells the story of a fierce battle to take control of a city from its rightful ruler.

John Bunyan , a Christian writer and preacher, was born at Harrowden , in the Parish of Elstow, England. He wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, arguably the most famous published Christian allegory. In the Church of England he is remembered with a Lesser Festival on 30 August. Bunyan became a popular preacher as well as a prolific author, though most of his works consist of expanded sermons. In theology he was a Puritan, but there was nothing gloomy about him. The portrait his friend Robert White drew, which has often been reproduced, shows the attractiveness of his true character.

Grace Abounding is the spiritual autobiography of John Bunyan, who also penned Pilgrim's Progress, perhaps one of the most significant pieces of Christian literature, second only to the Bible. Grace Abounding follows Bunyan's struggle to find true repentance and forgiveness, his battle with Satan's temptations of unbelief, his comfort found in the Bible and his overarching victory gotten by the grace of God through Jesus Christ his Son. Readers familiar with Pilgrim's Progress will recognize that many of the allegorical points in his famous work came out of Bunyan's own struggles and discoveries, and it has been said that Bunyan could not have written Pilgrim's Progress without first going through the battles chronicled in Grace Abounding. NOTE: Paragraphs 319-339 from "A Brief Account of the Author's Imprisonment" are omitted from the e-text, and are therefore omitted from this recording.

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come was written in 1678 by John Bunyan, a Puritan and a dissenter from the Church of England. It is an allegory of the journey to redemption of the faithful, through many snares and difficulties. Cast in the form of a dream, the first part of the work deals with a man called Christian, who sets off carrying a great burden. He meets many helpers and many adversaries on this journey. The second part of the work deals with Christian's wife, Christiana, and her four children, who follow a similar journey. One of the most influential of all religious works, The Pilgrim's Progress was immediately popular and has been translated over the years into many languages and into many forms, including verse, opera, movies, and many illustrated versions for children. Several of its story elements, characters and locations have entered the language, such as the "Slough of Despond," "Vanity Fair," "Greatheart," and "Giant Despair." This edition is based on a version of Bunyan's complete works edited by George Offor and published in 1855. It contains many endnotes drawn from a variety of commentators.

Written in the late 1600s by John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim's Progress, this treatise exhorts Christians to holy living. Bunyan takes as his text Psalm 93:5, 'Holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, forever,' and from it he presents true holiness as true beauty, calling his fellow believers out of the religious hypocrisy of his era to a genuine pursuit of God. Spiritually, this work is a little-known gem from a respected religious figure, and historically it is a unique look at the Christian church and family in the seventeenth century. Whatever your reason for coming to 'A Holy Life,' it is worth the read...or listen. - Summary by Jennifer Raimundo
