Holy War, The -Modern English

The Holy War is considered by many to be amongst John Bunyans best writings. The allegory portrays the continuous conflict between man and the devil. The city of Mansoul is attacked by Diabolus using ruse, intrigue and force. The battle is long and bitter, but through the intervention of Prince Emmanuel victory is secured, in spite of the weaknesses and failings of the inhabitants of Mansoul. In this version for today Thelma Jenkins has succeeded in retaining the beauty of Bunyans style whilst rendering the book more accessible to the 21st century reader. This is an extremely gripping story which, in its present form, will be appreciated by both young and old, Christian and non-Christian. There is a depth of understanding of scriptural truth which is presented in such a way that it cannot but impress the thoughtful reader.
