Write Up Based On Books The Holy War

This was not exactly my favorite book. It's certainly not as good as Pilgrim's Progress, even though it has many parallels. The allegory is a bit too much for me, and I found several aspects of the theology overly "self" centered. Some of this is due to the extremes (both good and bad) of "Puritanism," and some of it is due to the confusion that sets in with so many characters. I missed a number of important points at first and had to go back through in group discussion. There are some

This has to be the worst book I've ever read, and I don't say that lightly. Bunyan uses a city as an allegory for the soul, with each inhabitant representing some character quality (or fault). The characters are completely (and intentionally) one-dimensional; that one quality is all there is to them. And they just keep coming; more and more of them. It is a dreary and insufferably boring book.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It looks at the christian life from the point of view of what takes place inside the head of the believer.

Holy War is the allegorical story of the attack on Mansoul by the Devil. It is told in the same style as the more well-known Pilgrims Progress, also by Bunyan. Its style is antiquated and a bit overdone for the modern reader, but the message and the truths it portrays are still valid and relevant. I found it an insightful read.

This is the story of Mansoul, a town that is turned from following Emmanuel time and again by Diabolus and his evil schemes. It is written in allegory form, but I found it less engaging than Pilgrim's Progress. Bunyan tended to rely on the mere mention of names of those who opposed Shaddai (Ill-Pause, Discontent, Prejudice, Benumbing, Rashhead, etc) rather than developing them as characters and giving more flesh to the story. I was pleased to note the connection to Charlotte Mason's book

This is one of those older, classic works that has been staring me in the face since I bought it in 1995. The edition I read has been updated to modern English for the modern reader. Naturally, one would wonder if it is as good as The Pilgrim's Progress. The answer is no. However, it does hold its place in Christian allegory. In fact, I would almost reccommend the reader to tackle this one before The Pilgrim's Progress for two reasons: 1) it covers the bigger picture of redemption and the battle

Every bit as good as Pilgrims Progress, although its a bit harder to read. It is also not the same type of allegory as PP, with a lot more characters and scenarios going on. My advice is to make it a goal to get through the first 100 pages (which is what I did), as I found it very hard to get into for various reasons. Once I made it to page 100 I could hardly put it down. It turned out to be one of the most spiritually edifying books I have ever read and am glad I stayed with it. Its definitely
