OTD in 1688, Baptist preacher and author John Bunyan died in England.

Best known as the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress, Bunyan authored nearly 60 works during his lifetime. He also spent 12 years in prison after refusing to stop preaching without the approval of the established church.

Bunyan could have secured his freedom by agreeing to quit preaching but he refused.

His years in prison instead became some of his most productive as a writer, and "The Pilgrim’s Progress"became one of the most influential Christian books ever written.
