About this ebook
First published in 1682, The Holy War is John Bunyan's grand allegory of the human heart - the work he ranked beside The Pilgrim's Progress. It tells of Mansoul, a fair town built by the great King Shaddai, betrayed and captured by the giant Diabolus - and of the long campaign by Shaddai's son, Emmanuel, to win it back. By turns an epic of war and a tender drama of grace, it stages the whole Christian story - creation, fall, redemption, backsliding, and final deliverance - within the walls of a single besieged city. This edition includes the complete, unabridged original text; 13 original woodcut-style illustrations, one opening each chapter, plus a frontispiece; Bunyan's own verse preface, To the Reader; and a clean, classic interior designed for reading. A timeless devotional classic for readers of Bunyan, Christian allegory, and Puritan literature alike.
