John Bunyan: Conventicle and Parnassus: Tercentenary Essays

To mark the tercentenary of the death of John Bunyan, this volume brings together twelve original essays treating aspects of Bunyan's life, thought, and writing as perceived by scholars in the late 20th century, exploring the diversity of Bunyan's achievement in his homiletic, doctrinal, controversial, and autobiographical works, as well as in the better-known allegories. The essays are arranged in sequence, beginning with historical and contextual discussions of Bunyan's relationship to Puritanism, nonconformity, the press and Restoration culture, and moving through explications of his Christian teaching, doctrine and Biblical indebtedness, to literary analyses of his style and fictional method.Keeble, N.
