The Holy War (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169291423)

The Holy War by John Bunyan is a Christian allegory that tells the story of the battle for the human soul. The book is set in the fictional city of Mansoul, which represents the human heart. The city is taken over by the devil, who convinces its inhabitants to rebel against their rightful king, Shaddai. The king sends his son, Prince Emmanuel, to reclaim the city and restore it to its former glory.The story is told through a series of battles and negotiations between the two sides. The devil's army is made up of various vices and sins, such as pride, envy, and lust, while Emmanuel's army is made up of virtues such as humility, faith, and love. Along the way, various characters are introduced, such as the Recorder, who keeps a record of everything that happens, and the Lord Mayor, who represents the human conscience.The Holy War is a powerful allegory that explores the battle between good and evil within the human soul. It is a deeply religious work that seeks to inspire readers to live a virtuous life and resist the temptations of sin. The book is written in a poetic and allegorical style that can be challenging to read, but it is also deeply rewarding for those who take the time to engage with its themes and ideas. Overall, The Holy War is a timeless classic of Christian literature that continues to inspire readers to this day.IN my travels, as I walked through many regions and countries, it was my chance to happen into that famous continent of Universe. A very large and spacious country it is: it lieth between the two poles, and just amidst the four points of the heavens. It is a place well watered, and richly adorned with hills and valleys, bravely situate, and for the most part, at least where I was, very fruitful, also well peopled, and a very sweet air.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
