The Holy War by John Bunyan - is a 1682 novel by John Bunyan. This early modern English novel, written in the form of an allegory, tells the story of the town "Mansoul" (Man's soul). Though this town is perfect and bears the image of Shaddai (Almighty), it is deceived to rebel and throw off his gracious rule, replacing it instead with the rule of Diabolus. Though Mansoul has rejected the Kingship of Shaddai, he sends his son Emmanuel to reclaim it.In the city Mansoul, there are three esteemed men, who have lost their authority due to admitting Diabolus into the city. The mayors understanding is hidden from the light. The recorder has become a madman, sinning at times and condemning the sin of the city. But worst of all is "Lord Willbewill, " who no longer desires to serve his true Lord, but desires to serve Diabolus instead. With the fall of these three men Mansoul will need to turn back to Shaddai of own free will, which seems impossible. Salvation can only come if Emmanuel is victorious.
