Books by John Bunyan in PDF or EPUB

John Bunyan (1628–1688) was an English writer and Puritan preacher whose life and work embody the spirit of nonconformist devotion. A largely self-educated tinker turned minister, he transformed the plainspoken cadence of the sermon into stories that speak to ordinary readers with uncommon force.

He is best known for The Pilgrim’s Progress, a landmark Christian allegory composed partly during his imprisonment for unlicensed preaching after the Restoration. Bunyan also wrote the spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and the allegorical warfare tale The Holy War, expanding his exploration of the soul’s trials and consolations.

Bunyan’s style is marked by clarity, moral urgency, and vivid symbolism: everyday speech, emblematic place-names, and dramatic encounters become a map of inner experience. His narratives turn doctrine into journey, making complex theology accessible through story.

Across centuries and languages, Bunyan’s books have remained widely read, shaping private devotion and public preaching alike. His enduring legacy rests on faith made narrative—works that invite readers to examine conscience, persevere through trial, and seek a higher country.
