Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781644398890)

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, or The Brief Relation of the Exceeding Mercy of God in Christ to his Poor Servant John Bunyan is a Puritan spiritual autobiography written by John Bunyan. It was written while Bunyan was serving a twelve-year prison sentence in Bedford gaol for preaching without a license and was first published in 1666. The title contains allusions to two Biblical passages: 'Grace Abounding' is a reference to Romans 5:20, which states 'Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound' and 'Chief of Sinners' refers to 1 Timothy 1:15, where Paul refers to himself by the same appellation.
