The narrative unfolds through an engaging dialogue between Mr. Wiseman, who recounts Mr. Badman’s misdeeds, and Mr. Attentive, who interjects with questions and reflections. Through Mr. Badmans story, Bunyan explores a range of sins, including lying, swearing, and Sabbath-breaking. This LibriVox production, narrated in a dialogue format by two talented readers and divided into digestible sections, offers a captivating exploration of virtue and vice. - Summary by David Purdy Preface and narration, voiced by KevinS; Mr. Attentive, voiced by David Purdy; Mr. Wiseman, voiced by Larry Wilson]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6876600/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Religion &amp; Spirituality</category><copyright>Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/33b796e9cb215ee599e9979f92cbd24d.jpg</url><title>Life and Death of Mr. Badman</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/life-and-death-of-mr-badman--6876600</link></image><lastBuildDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:17:10 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>John Bunyan</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Religious Texts and Commentary</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker24@adfreesounds.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/33b796e9cb215ee599e9979f92cbd24d.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>In the seventeenth century, Puritan theologian John Bunyan penned The Life and Death of Mr. Badman as a companion to his more famous work, The Pilgrim’s Progress.
