Christian Behaviour

Rules and Directions Necessary for Christians as they Bear the Relations of Husbands and Wives, Parents and Children, Masters and Servants

Language: English Source: John Bunyan, Christian Behaviour (London, 1663) — EEBO-TCP CC0 transcript A30128.0001.001

The modern-English pilot (v0.1 draft) exists in the FDT working repo at Vault/Projects/family-discipleship-translations/bunyan-christian-behaviour-en/. Chapter migration into this study directory is scheduled after the FDT agent stabilizes its current Bunyan Chapter 1 Hebrew work — see ~/.claude/playbooks/playbook-translation-study.md for the migration ritual.

Bunyan’s Christian Behaviour was surfaced as the strongest MVP fit by the 2026-08-12 widened audit: 4-way absent in Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, and Chinese; subtitle explicitly frames household relations; short (~40pp); Bunyan’s authorial equity via Pilgrim’s Progress carries across all target languages; and the 1663 EEBO-TCP transcript is CC0 (no OCR pass needed on 17th-c. type). See ADR §10 for full rationale.
