Description

The Holy War is a book by John Bunyan, first published in 1682, that presents a sweeping Christian allegory of spiritual warfare through the besieged city of “Mansoul.” In vivid, plain style, Bunyan dramatizes the rebellion led by Diabolus against the rightful rule of Shaddai and the redemptive campaign of Prince Emmanuel to reclaim the city.

Readers encounter memorable figures — Willbewill, Understanding, Conscience — and fortified “gates” such as Ear-gate and Eye-gate, all standing for the faculties and senses that shape the human heart. Firmly rooted in Puritan theology yet accessible to everyday readers, this companion to Pilgrim’s Progress explores conviction, conversion, backsliding, repentance, and perseverance.

Its dramatic episodes, martial imagery, and moral clarity have made it a touchstone of Christian allegory and classic devotional literature. For readers seeking enduring reflections on temptation, grace, and the inner battle of faith, this work remains a searching and thoughtful guide. This edition was first published in 1907.
