- Summary:
- While John Bunyan is most
famously known for writing Pilgrim's Progress, his works
of Christian literature extend well beyond just one novel. Indeed,
Bunyan was a prolific writer and preacher, authoring over fifty books
and tracts during his lifetime. Like Pilgrim's Progress, The
Holy
War
is
an allegorical novel which depicts fictional people and events to
illustrate the Christian's spiritual journey. The Holy War is the
story
of "Mansoul" a perfect town built for the glory of its benevolent
creator and leader, King Shaddai. After being deceived by the wicked
ruler Diabolus, the town rejects the rule of King Shaddai and falls deep
into the mires of sin and despair. As battles rage against good and
evil, the redemption of Mansoul is only possible through the victory of
Shaddai's son, Prince Emmanuel. Bunyan's allegory is full of clever
characters and captivating drama. This important Christian classic is
both educational and entertaining, so it is a great book for leisure
reading or Bible study.
