John Bunyan (1628–1688), one of the most influential writers in the English-speaking world, is best known for his timeless allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress, a work that has never gone out of print since its publication in 1678. However, Bunyan’s literary legacy extends far beyond this singular masterpiece. In The Works of John Bunyan, readers are presented with the complete spiritual vision of this remarkable 17th-century preacher and author—a man whose passion for truth, boldness in suffering, and unshakable devotion to the gospel of Christ shaped not only his writings but his entire life.

This comprehensive three-volume collection, originally edited by George Offor in the mid-19th century, remains the definitive edition of Bunyan’s writings. It encompasses the full range of his work—from beloved allegories and practical theological treatises to personal reflections and pastoral exhortations. Bunyan’s texts resonate with spiritual insight and biblical depth, emphasizing the fallen nature of man, the sufficiency of divine grace, and the struggles and triumphs of the Christian life.

Volume One: Experimental, Doctrinal & Practical
The first volume includes Bunyan’s powerful autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, offering a raw, honest look at his spiritual journey. It also contains foundational works such as Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ, Christ a Complete Saviour, and The Fear of God, which reflect Bunyan’s heart as a pastor and evangelist. This volume serves as a deep well of doctrinal truth and practical instruction, ideal for personal devotion and spiritual growth.

Volume Two: Experimental, Doctrinal & Practical
The second volume continues Bunyan’s doctrinal and pastoral writings, including his theological defenses such as A Defence of the Doctrine of Justification by Faith and his exposition The Saints’ Knowledge of Christ’s Love. It also includes An Exposition on the First Ten Chapters of Genesis, where Bunyan’s biblical insight is clearly displayed. These texts reveal his unwavering commitment to the authority of Scripture and the purity of gospel doctrine, even under persecution.

Volume Three: Allegorical, Figurative & Symbolical
Bunyan’s Allegories are striking and powerful. Alongside The Pilgrim’s Progress and The Holy War, readers will find The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, The Heavenly Footman, and Solomon’s Temple Spiritualized. These works combine vivid imagination with theological precision, presenting spiritual truths through compelling narrative. They are not only literary treasures but also spiritual guides for pilgrims navigating the Christian journey.

More than a literary collection, The Works of John Bunyan is a spiritual and theological treasury. It is for the Pastor, the student of theology, the lover of classic literature and all believers seeking greater strength and conviction in the Christian pilgrimage. This edition provides an enduring resource. Bunyan’s legacy lives on through these pages, continuing to call sinners to grace and believers to endurance, just as he did in his own turbulent and triumphant life.
