Description
Alexander Whyte, minister of St. George's Free Church in Edinburgh, devoted this third series of Bunyan Characters lectures to John Bunyan's Holy War. Whyte opens by ranking the books: Pilgrim's Progress tells the soul's journey, while Holy War, published in 1682, tells its battles. The town of Mansoul is besieged, taken, and retaken, and Whyte reads the siege as a map of the Christian life.
Lecture by lecture he walks through Bunyan's soldiers, captains, and assaults, drawing lessons for faith under attack. Macaulay's praise of Holy War as nearly the best allegory ever written gets quoted early. Whyte writes as a preacher to preachers, warm, urgent, and certain that Bunyan's war still describes his hearers.
