The repressive policies of Charles I and his chief henchman, Archbishop Laud, ultimately led to the downfall and execution of both under the Puritan controlled Long Parliament. Oliver Cromwell led England in an attempt to implement republican political principle, but in the end, the English people returned to monarchy, calling in Charles II in the Restoration of 1660. The harsh policies of Charles II led to the imprisonment of John Bunyan, a non-conformist preacher, but his incarceration afforded him the opportunity to write one of the best-known, and best-loved, of all Christian classics, The Pilgrim's Progress. This presentation highlights the career of this famous English preacher, and gives an overview of the events leading to his story. For more free resources, please visit www.brucegore.com.
