The Holy War by Bunyan is supposed to hold the same relation to his Pilgrim's progress, that the Odyssey of Homer does to his Iliad, or the Paradise Regained of Milton to his Paradise Lost, The inferior works of the great Grecian and English bards, are inferior only to their own more finished and perfect productions; and so it may be said of the admirable allegory, here presented to the reader, that it would have immortalized its author, had he not already attained the highest meed of fame by his inimitable Pilgrim. The subject of war, even when a holy one and altogether of an allegorical character, is not so generally pleasing as that of a pilgrimage, and this perhaps may, in a measure, detract from the interest which is felt in this really remarkable book. It merits a more popular reception. As an allegory it is well sustained. The Christian warfare is illustrated by one profoundly conversant with all it vicissitudes; and in the conception and portraiture of characters and incidents, Bunyan has displayed the same fertility of invention which imparts such a charm to his master-work. Includes Illustrated footnotes. 454 pages.

Bunyan has been picturesquely described as the Prince of Dreamers. He merits a much higher eulogy. His imperishable work, which is here presented in a new and beautiful garb, exhibits the chastened imagination of the poet; the discriminating knowledge of the casuist; the acuteness of the theologian; and the sweet and gentle spirit of the Christian instructor. He enchains his readers by a species of fascination which it is difficult to analyze, and which could result only from a rare combination of talent. The deeply interested attention of the child and the philosopher, of the experienced Christian and the admirer of fiction, is alike absorbed in his skilfully drawn narrative of the Pilgrim's progress from the city of Destruction to his celestial home. The reader is at once charmed and instructed; his imagination is gratified and his heart impressed, by there perusal of this extraordinary production. Founded as it is in an intimate acquaintance with the workings of the human heart under the impulse of natural principles and the superadded influence of gracious affections, it found its place in the hearts of men at its first appearance, and its popularity has steadily increased in the lapse of time. No uninspired volume has perhaps ever been demanded with greater eagerness by all classes of readers. It includes the biography of Bunyan by Joseph Conder And marginal explanations and Scriptural references with extensive footnotes by Thomas Scott.

In this massive volume, Philip Mauro takes a unique approach to the text, avoiding the pitfalls of preterism on the one hand and Dispensational futurism on the other.</p>
