The Life and Death of Mr. Badman: Presented to the World in a Familiar Dialogue Between Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Attentive is a 1680 book by John Bunyan. It was intended as a companion to The Pilgrim's Progress. The narrative has two characters talking about sin and redemption over the course of a day.

In this work, John Bunyan addresses the issue of imputation in great detail. The imputed righteousness of Christ was of the highest importance to him, as the only way of salvation. He opposed any manifestation of self-righteousness among Christians, any any claim of justification built thereon.

Seventeenth-century Puritan John Bunyan speaks to us in a way that is much different from usual preachers. Given his own struggles with his faith, his words come from a place of no judgement and so can reach us far deeper. Bunyan explains to us the different levels of fear as felt through our path to Christ: first the fear that brings us to God, then the fear the Devil plants in us to make us doubt, and the fear of God himself which is not an evil, but one that gives us the desire to glorify Him.

It was the summer of 1668 when John Bunyan preached his last sermon. Bunyan is most noted for spending time in prison and for writing one of the most popular books in history, Pilgrim’s Progress. His life lessons culminate in this final sermon. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.

"The Pilgrim's Progress" di John Bunyan fu pubblicato tra il 1678 e il 1684. Si tratta di un'allegoria cristiana in cui il protagonista, Cristiano, affronta un percorso di redenzione dai propri peccati affrontando via via tentazioni e nemici aperti: troveremo così ad esempio la Palude dello Scoraggiamento, o il Gigante Disperazione. Dopo sei anni dalla pubblicazione del primo libro, l'autore scrisse poi un secondo libro (che venne poi pubblicato, da quel momento sempre insieme al primo, creando così una prima e una seconda parte).

This Christian classic, originally published in 1678, has become one of the most significant and influential books in the English language. Travel with Christian on the road to the Celestial City as he fights temptation, evil, spiritual terrors, and religious pitfalls, but also encounters such helpful characters as Hopeful, Faithful, and Charity.

Part One of this book tells of Christian's progress from this world to that which is to come. It is a dream of a dangerous journey fraught with doubt and constant struggles with sin. Part Two relates the story of how Christian's wife and children travel on the same road.

Timeless and timely, Bunyan's allegorical tale has been hailed the most widely read book in the English language other than the Bible. Follow the Pilgrim and his friends on their dangerous spiritual journey to the Celestial City, as they pass through many experiences common to us all and travel in triumph with the King.

One of the most popular stories ever written, this allegory tells of Christian, an everyman character, who makes his way from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City" of Zion. Christian finds himself weighed down by a great burden he carries from reading a book (obviously the Bible). This burden, which could cause him to sink into hell (Tophet), is Christian's acute, immediate concern, and impels him to a crisis: what to do for deliverance.

Once the most deeply cherished book in English-speaking households other than Bible itself, John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim's Progress is the allegorical tale of Christian the pilgrim on his journey to the Celestial City. Along the way, Christian encounters both worthy companions and dreadful adversaries. Although this book was written more than three hundred years ago, this stirring spiritual narrative still bears the power to challenge and encourage readers on their own spiritual journeys.

Wegen seines Glaubens wurde Bunyan verfolgt und verbrachte lange Zeit im Gefängnis. Während seiner Haftzeit schrieb er “The Pilgrims Progress“, das unter dem Titel “Christen auf dem Weg zur Ewigkeit“ erschienen ist. Die darin geschilderte Reise ist eine Metapher für den Weg, den ein Mensch antreten muss, um nach diesem Leben ein Einwohner der himmlischen Stadt werden zu können.

In dieser Autobiographie zeigt John Bunyan, wie ergreifend sich Gottes Erbarmen in seinem Leben zeigte. Er macht besonders deutlich, welche Mühe die Sünde mit sich bringt und mit welchen Anfechtungen er zu kämpfen hatte, aber auch, welche Kraft das Evangelium hat, das ihn befreite. Die zutiefst bewegende Geschichte von John Bunyan motiviert den Leser, der Gnade Gottes zu vertrauen. Denn es ist wirklich möglich, den Kreislauf sündigen Verhaltens zu durchbrechen und so von Grund auf zu Gottes Ehre verändert zu werden.
