These treatises from Bunyan's last year, 1688, are edited from the first editions, one of which was published in his lifetime, and the other two posthumously. All three are variations on the traditional typological method of biblical interpretation, and reflect similar variations practised in the work of other nonconformist theologians and preachers of the day. They are of interest both to students of Bunyan's theology and the struggles of `the Church in the wilderness', and to students of his art - the methods he explored to embody his ideas imaginatively and to intensify the appeal of his teaching.
