Deemed the second most read of John Bunyan's three-centuries old allegories, The Life and Death of Mr. Badman is a poignant and fire-charged description of an indifferent, downwardly-spiraling life, during which the title character bore no concern for the injury he inflicted upon others. This book minces no words about the potential of good and evil in human nature and behavior. The presentation of this classic work invites a fresh reading and candid discussion of the work itself and the perennial moral and ethical questions it raises.
