As defender of the faith and protector of his flock, at a time of
great dissent on matters of theology and religious practice, Bunyan
spent much of his energies on disputes, both in person and on the
printed page. It was, indeed, such issues that had originally
launched him into print in 1656-7 (see Volume I in this series).
Six of Bunyan's controversial works, from a much later period of
his life, are presented in the present volume. Bunyan directed the
earliest of these works, A Defence of the Doctrine of
Justification, by Faith (1672) at the latitudinarian rector Edward
Fowler. A long-term dispute with some Baptists over open membership
resulted in his A Confession of my Faith, and A Reason of my
Practice (1672), Differences in Judgment About Water-Baptism, No
Bar to Communion (1673) and Peaceable Principles and True (1674).
Controversies concerning the status of women and the correct day
for Sabbath observance led him to write A Case of Conscience
Resolved (1683) and Questions About the Nature and Perpetuity of
the Seventh-Day-Sabbath (1685). These polemical works display
something of the rough and tumble world of the mechanick preachers
of Bunyan's time. They add to our understanding of Bunyan's
background, religious stance, and imaginative power and technique.
They also reveal some of his personal human foibles.
