John Bunyan and the Grace of Fearing God

John Bunyan and the Grace of Fearing God

He was the author of the best-selling Christian book of all time. His Bible-saturated works have inspired generations of believers all over the world. And yet, as influential as it is, John Bunyan's theology contains a unifying thread that is sorely neglected in the modern church: the vital importance of the fear of God.

Fearing God is seen by many as psychologically harmfulâ€”at odds with belief in a God of love. But Bunyan knew personally that the only freedom from a guilty fear of God's wrath is a joyful, childlike fear of his holiness. Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley guide us through Bunyan's life before exploring his writings to illuminate the true grace of fearing God.
