The Holy War

The Holy War is John Bunyan's epic allegory of the battle for the human soul. In it the mighty city of Mansoul — created by the great King Shaddai and his Son, Emmanuel — is besieged and captured by the deceitful tyrant Diabolus, then gloriously reclaimed through the love and power of Emmanuel. Rich in spiritual symbolism, this masterful tale dramatizes the fall of humanity, the redemption won by Christ, and the ongoing warfare every believer faces against sin and temptation. Often regarded as second only to The Pilgrim's Progress among Bunyan's works, this beautifully illustrated edition brings his timeless vision of grace and victory to life for a new generation of readers.
