The Holy War is another brilliant allegory of the Christian life by the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress. John Bunyan vividly depicts the internal struggle in the heart and mind of the Christian as a war between Diabolus (Satan) and King Shaddai (God) for the town of Mansoul (man’s soul). Knowing the methods of the enemy is the first step to defeating him, and this is Bunyan’s goal—to make us aware of the war that rages within us throughout our lives. Written in 1682, The Holy War is a masterpiece of Christian literature. Bunyan’s powerful portrayal tells the story of the fall of mankind into sin, the spiritual battle that rages throughout the Christian life, the relentless efforts by Satan to destroy the followers of Shaddai, and the ultimate victory of his Son, Emmanuel. Bunyan has given us an astonishing and life-altering look at the struggles that take place in the battlefield that is the Christian soul. As poignantly true today as it was over 300 years ago, every Christian will see himself in the midst of the same battle because the enemy of our souls never changes his tactics. Why would he, when they are still so effective? “The craft that we call modern, The crimes that we call new, John Bunyan had ’em typed and filed In Sixteen Eighty-two.” —Rudyard Kipling The text has been lightly edited to render it understandable to the modern reader while retaining Bunyan’s voice and inspired writing style. The footnotes and Scripture references included in each chapter make the book ideal for personal or small group study.

About the Author John Bunyan was an English Christian writer and preacher who is best known for his allegorical novel The Pilgrim s Progress, published in 1678. Bunyan s faith was profoundly influenced by two books owned by his wife: Arthur Dent's Plain Man's Pathway to Heaven and Lewis Bayly's Practice of Piety, and he turned to preaching following the death of his guide and mentor, John Gifford. The restoration of the monarchy of Charles II of England marked England s return to Anglicanism, and Bunyan s freedom to preach was curtailed. He was arrested numerous times for preaching without a licence, and was finally imprisoned for the offence in November 1660. Bunyan was released from prison in January 1672 and resumed preaching (as permitted under the Declaration of Religious Indulgence) until his death in 1688.Dolores Kimball is an experienced editor and writer whose passion is to explain biblical truth in clear, practical ways that will impact and change lives - especially the lives of women.

Few people today would derive any pleasure, or much sense, from reading “The Holy War” as it was originally written and so a modern English version of this classical work is welcome. Dolores Kimball is to be commended for bringing this allegorical story of the Christian life before a 21st century readership.The story is about the spiritual battle that constantly rages for control of humanity. Two armies are at war. The diabolical forces of darkness and destruction have taken possession of the hearts, minds and souls of humanity. Outside the city are the armies of God, with the Son (Jesus) representing the forces of light and life. To whom will humanity surrender?The Christian faces a daily battle in this war because the enemy is tenacious. There is much wisdom in Bunyan’s tale and we do well to apply the warnings and counsel to ourselves.
