Abstract
In his classic account of Christian awakening, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666),John Bunyan described how the Devil planted evil thoughts in his mind. The spiritual enemy assailed him with “whole floods of blasphemies,both against God, Christ and the scriptures”. These shocking ideas came with unbidden and terrible force; suddenly his mind would be “strangely snatched away” by thoughts that he could not control, which assailed him like “a mighty whirlwind”.
