A turbulent, seditious, and factious people: John Bunyan and his church, 1628-1688 (Oxford paperbacks) - Softcover
This biography views Bunyan's works in the context of the social, political and religious context of the times, concentrating on his humble origins, the revolution of the 1640s and his experience in the Parliamentary army and the trouble of censorship and persecution. Christopher Hill won the W.H.Smith Literary Award and became interested in Bunyan after giving a lecture on him in 1978, as part of Bedford's celebration of the tercentenary of the publication of "The Pilgrim's Progress". Hill is a respected historian, having written over 20 books on the 17th Century.

About the Author:
Christopher Hill (1912–2003), born in York, was a historian and academic specializing in seventeenth-century English history. As a young man he witnessed the growth of the Nazi party firsthand during a prolonged holiday in Germany, an experience he later said contributed to the radicalization of his politics. He was master of Balliol College, University of Oxford, his alma mater, from 1965 to 1978. His celebrated and influential works include Intellectual Origins of the English Revolution; The World Turned Upside Down; and A Turbulent, Seditious and Fractious People: John Bunyan and His Church.
Review:
“Magnificent and searching study ... provocative, absorbing and hugely knowledgeable.”
—Sunday Times
“Hill claims to put Bunyan back into his ‘revolutionary age’ ... and is totally successful.”
—London Review of Books
“The commanding interpreter of seventeenth-century England.”
—Guardian
“The dean and paragon of English historians.”
—E.P. Thompson, author of The Making of the English Working Class
“Wide-ranging, popular and immensely prolific ... the dominant figure in studies of the period.”
