Bunyan wrote extensively on topical theological and practical matters that faced the church in his time and which face us still. In The intercession of Christ Bunyan traces the nature of Jesus' intercession, who should it affect, the benefits it gives us and how effective that intercession is. Bunyan is also keen show the interferences of doctrines such as backsliding, how Christ's intervention is affected when we continue to sin, and are the sins of God's people worse than the sins of others?
