"What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it."
― John Bunyan, The Pilgrims Progress

John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" is one of the most important theological works ever written. Thought to be first printed in 1678, Bunyan began writing this story while in prison.

A Quaker by the name of Granger visited Bunyan in prison and says of him:
"Bunyan, who had been mentioned among the least and lowest of our writers, and even ridiculed as a driveller by those who had never read him, deserves a much higher rank than is commonly imagined. His 'Pilgrim's Progress' gives us a clear and distinct idea of Calvinistic divinity."

Allibone calls this book,
