This book is the work of famed author, John Bunyan, renown for the well-loved classic 'Pilgrim's Progress'. It is one of his many published sermons and is based on the biblical passage Luke 24: 47. Bunyan argues that the sinners in Jerusalem, having killed the Lord Jesus Christ committed the worst crime possible and were thus the worst sinners. Nevertheless Christ's command was to preach the gospel "starting in Jerusalem". He therefore opines that this is a clear indication that the Christian message welcomes even the vilest of men.

Published by John Bunyan in the year of his death (1688), "Jerusalem Sinner Saved" brings together the fruit of his thinking on the grace of forgiveness. With the warmth and fervency of spirit of a true evangelist, Bunyan beautifully unfolds the riches of God's grace and mercy to the greatest of sinners. Here, as the subtitle of the book says, is 'Good News for the Vilest of Men.' John Bunyan confessed himself to have been one of the worst sinners to have ever walked God's earth. After his conversion to Jesus Christ, he was constantly amazed by the fact that the God of infinite grace should have saved him from his sin. As a minister of the gospel, he loved to proclaim the grace of God to sinners and earnestly persuaded his hearers to embrace by faith the Lord Jesus Christ in whom is found the free pardon of all our sins.

BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM.-Luke xxiv. 47. THE whole verse runs thus: "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." The words were spoken by Christ, after he rose from the dead, and they are here rehearsed after an historical manner, but do contain in them a formal commission, with a special clause therein. The commission is, as you see, for the preaching of the gospel, and is very distinctly inserted in the holy record by Matthew and Mark. "Go teach all nations," &c. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel unto every creature." Matt. xxviii. 19; Mark xvi. 15. Only this cause is in special mentioned by Luke, who saith, That as Christ would have the doctrine of repentance and remission of sins preached in his name among all nations, so he would have the people of Jerusalem to have the first proffer thereof. Preach it, saith Christ, in all nations, but begin at Jerusalem.
