Reseña del editor:

It is not often realised that the author of Pilgrim's Progress wrote a commentary on Genesis. As far as we know, Bunyan's incomplete Genesis commentary has not been separately published before - though it was published posthumously as part of a "Complete Works" collection in 1691. This edition contains notes from an 1853 edition by George Offor, as well as new preface and notes by Paul Taylor. Readers will enjoy owning and using this classic and valuable commentary from one of the leading lights of English theology and literature. Paul F Taylor is an international speaker on creation and apologetics. He is the author of several books, including The Six Days of Genesis, Cain and Abel and In the Beginning. He and his wife Geraldene live in Pensacola, Florida, and have five children between them. John Bunyan was born near Bedford in 1628. He was saved shortly after the Civil War. His first wife died young. Shortly after his second marriage, Bunyan was arrested and imprisoned for being an unauthorised preacher. He stayed in prison for many years, because he refused to give an undertaking not to preach the Gospel. It was in prison that the ideas for his allegories came to him, and he was able to publish them in the next few years following his eventual release.

Biografía del autor:

John Bunyan was an English Christian writer and preacher who is best known for his allegorical novel The Pilgrim's Progress, published in 1678. Bunyan's faith was profoundly influenced by two books owned by his wife: Arthur Dent's Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven and Lewis Bayly's Practice of Piety, and he turned to preaching following the death of his guide and mentor, John Gifford. The restoration of the monarchy of Charles II of England marked England's return to Anglicanism, and Bunyan's freedom to preach was curtailed. He was arrested numerous times for preaching without a licence, and was finally imprisoned for the offence in November 1660. Bunyan was released from prison in January 1672 and resumed preaching (as permitted under the Declaration of Religious Indulgence) until his death in 1688.

Paul Taylor is the executive vice president of the Pew Research Center, where he oversees demographic, social, and generational research. He is the author of "See How They Run" and coauthor of "The Old News Versus the New News". Paul lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
