The Strait Gate - John Bunyan

The Strait Gate is a collection of four religious allegories written by John Bunyan in 1851. The first allegory, The Heavenly Footman, follows a man named Christian as he runs the race of life, striving to reach the heavenly city. The second allegory, The Barren Fig Tree, tells the story of a fruitless tree and its eventual destruction, serving as a warning against unfruitfulness. The third allegory, The Pharisee and Publican, contrasts the attitudes and prayers of a self-righteous Pharisee and a humble publican, emphasizing the importance of humility in prayer. The final allegory, Divine Emblems, uses various objects and symbols to illustrate spiritual truths and lessons. Throughout the book, Bunyan emphasizes the importance of faith, repentance, and humility in the Christian life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
