Author Description

As defender of the faith and protector of his flock at a time of great dissent on matters of theology and religious practice, Bunyan spent much of his energies on disputes-- both in person and on the printed page. This volume presents six of Bunyan's works of controversy written after 1656. The works display something of the rough and tumble world of the mechanic preachers of Bunyan's time and add to our understanding of Bunyan's background, religious stance, and imaginative power and technique. They also reveal some of his personal human foibles.
