De Heilige Oorlog, gevoerd door Koning Elschaddai tegen Diábolus by John Bunyan
"De Heilige Oorlog, gevoerd door Koning Elschaddai tegen Diábolus" by John Bunyan is a religious allegory written in the late 17th century. This work explores the struggle between good and evil through the lens of Christian theology, depicting King Elschaddai as the representation of God and Diábolus as the embodiment of evil. The narrative likely reflects themes of redemption, moral conflict, and the power of faith, aimed at guiding readers through spiritual
battles and the importance of divine grace. The opening of the text introduces John Bunyan’s early life, detailing his humble beginnings, tumultuous youth, and gradual spiritual awakening. It portrays Bunyan as a rebellious soul immersed in sin until a series of life-threatening events lead him to question his path. The narrative highlights his eventual realization of God's mercy and the inner struggles he faced leading to his conversion. This part sets the stage for the larger allegorical conflict between Elschaddai and Diábolus, which mirrors Bunyan’s own experiences of tumult and faith, foreshadowing the epic struggles that will unfold throughout the book.
