1782 Holy War John Bunyan Puritan Baptist Spiritual Warfare Angels Demons RARE

“What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.”

― John Bunyan, The Pilgrims Progress

John Bunyan is perhaps the most important theological writers and preacher of the 17^th-century. In addition to his allegorical masterpiece ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress,’ Bunyan wrote dozens of Puritan works and sermons. He was also well-acquainted with military terminology from his army service; something that would influence his book ‘The Holy War’.

‘The Holy War’ is another Puritan allegory that tells the story of a fictional town and the devil’s attempts to deceive and overthrow the rule of the King. Bunyan describes the process of the fall from God’s grace and incorporates aspects of Christian doctrine.

This 1782 edition of ‘Holy War’ contains a ‘life of Bunyan’.
