The heritage of the Puritan-secarian tradition to Anglo-Amercan civilization is a significant one. From that tradition have come progressive principles in support of education, liberty, democracy, and social concern. Those priciples wer thoroughly grounded in the religious convictions of those who comprised this tradition. Indeed, the religious beliefs themselves have been widely embraced by subsequent generations of English Nonconformists, and by the spiritual followers of the Puritans of New England and the pioneering migrants who spread out to settle the American wilderness. This book is a study of the thought of one of those men - a Bedfordshire tinker with the vision of Paul, the conviction of Luther, and the commitment to freedom of Milton. John Bunyan, whose life spanned that tumultuous period of English history extending from the Petition of Right of 1628 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, was not a university graduate; but the fervour of his preaching and the warmth of his personality brought him a wider following than that attained by nearly all of his university-trained contemporaries. His theology cut through the impersonal, scholastic mold commonly imposed on English Calvinism in the seventeeth century. The ability to communicate that living awareness to others made Bunyan immensely successful as a preacher to the common man. Bunyan himself, as this study demonstrates, adhered essentilally to those positions advocated by the strict Calvinists. Unlike most English writers of the seventeenth cnetury, however, he was definitely indebted to the writings of Martin Luther for various emphases in his thought. Such emphases tended to give his own thought something of a hybrid character, and in one way at least this hybrid character was significant: Luther's influence gave to his writing and preaching a more personal appeal that would have been the case had he relied solely on the more logic-bound orthodox Calvinism.
