What is Bunyan's Theology? Understanding His Calvinist Puritan Worldview

Are you confused about grace versus works? Struggling with spiritual doubt that theology can't seem to address? You're walking the same terrain that almost destroyed John Bunyan before he mapped it for millions. This isn't just church history—it's a psychological framework that secular therapy still can't fully replicate. Most people know Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress. Few realize he created something far more valuable: a complete theological map of spiritual transformation that explains why self-improvement fails, why doubt doesn't invalidate faith, and why grace must be experienced as gift, not achievement. While modern wellness culture promises techniques for constant progress, Bunyan's 17th-century Calvinist Puritan worldview reveals why valleys and darkness are on the path, not obstacles to it. In this video, you'll discover the theological framework that made Pilgrim's Progress the second-most published book in English for centuries. I'll show you step-by-step how Bunyan's Calvinism differs from abstract doctrine, why his experiential Puritanism created both terror and liberation, and how his controversial open communion position reveals wisdom about unity that polarized Christians desperately need today. You'll learn: • Why Bunyan's Calvinism maps psychological terrain secular psychology can describe but not resolve • How his experiential Puritanism distinguishes authentic transformation from temporary enthusiasm • The communion controversy that almost split Baptists—and what it teaches about fellowship across disagreement • Why Slough of Despond, Valley of Shadow, and Doubting Castle are therapeutic cartography, not just literary symbols • How to apply Bunyan's worldview whether you're evangelical seeking deeper faith or skeptical seeker analyzing religious psychology This deep dive connects 17th-century theological debates with contemporary crises of meaning, authenticity, and exhaustion from self-improvement culture. Whether you embrace or critique Bunyan's framework, you'll understand why it functioned as map for millions navigating guilt, doubt, and the search for transformation that technique alone can't provide. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more explorations of historical Christian thinkers whose theological frameworks illuminate contemporary questions 👍 LIKE if this analysis of Bunyan's worldview challenges your assumptions about grace, transformation, or spiritual experience 💬 COMMENT below: Which part of Bunyan's theology speaks most to your current spiritual or psychological landscape? 📤 SHARE with someone wrestling with questions about authentic transformation, religious doubt, or whether grace is real This is just the beginning of understanding Bunyan's profound contributions to Christian thought and spiritual psychology.
