Author of The Pilgrim's Progress
A tinker by trade, Bunyan began to preach in 1657, drawing enthusiastic crowds that were hungry for a message unencumbered by Anglican ritual. Such preaching was to land him in prison, but Bunyan's time there was well spent. The doubts, temptations, and hopes of his own spiritual journey were put on paper in the Puritan allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress.
