Summary

In 1678, John Bunyan published The Pilgrim's Progress, a classic that charts the journey of two Christian heroes facing various perils and tests, including temptations of a sexual nature, with public nudity being presented as non-problematic. Bunyan penned the novel after spending twelve years in an English jail for preaching without a government-issued permit, a crime due to the state church's regulations.
