ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Bunyan (1628-1688) was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire. He was converted to God in 1653, and soon afterward began to preach. On the 13th of November 1660, he was committed to Bedford jail for “teaching men to worship God contrary to the law.” There, with no other aids than the Bible and Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, he wrote the Pilgrim’s Progress, and other works which have immortalized his name. He was released in December 1672, and spent the remainder of his life in manifold labors for the cause of Christ.
As pastor of the church at Bedford, to which office he was chosen December 21, 1671, while yet a prisoner, he was instant in season, out of season,” and the church greatly flourished under his ministry. When he visited London, people flocked in crowds to hear him; three thousand persons were known to be assembled for that purpose at seven o’clock in the morning. Not unfrequently, the learned and the great were among them.
Charles II once asked Dr. Owen how it was that he was so fond of hearing a tinker preach. “May it please your majesty,” the doctor replied, “had I the tinker’s abilities for preaching, I would gladly relinquish all my learning.”
