JOHN BUNYAN (1628 - 1688) was an Englishman and is sometimes called "the Shakespeare among the divines." In 1660 he was arrested for conducting a conventicle, a religious meeting held without the approval of the state church. When offered his liberty if he would promise not to preach, he refused. While in prison he supported his family by making shoelaces and wrote Pilgrim's Progress, a classic of Christianity. He was released in 1672 and became an activist for religious liberty.
