The Strait Gate: The Heavenly Footman, The Barren Fig Tree, The Pharisee And Publican, And Divine Emblems is a collection of essays and allegories written by John Bunyan in 1851. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores different themes related to Christian faith and salvation.In The Heavenly Footman, Bunyan uses the metaphor of a footrace to describe the Christian life and the importance of perseverance in the face of obstacles. The Barren Fig Tree examines the parable of the fig tree in the Gospel of Luke and the need for repentance and spiritual growth. The Pharisee and Publican explores the contrast between self-righteousness and humility, using the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in the Gospel of Luke as a starting point. Finally, Divine Emblems uses allegorical illustrations to convey moral and spiritual lessons.Throughout the book, Bunyan emphasizes the importance of faith, repentance, and humility in the Christian life. He also warns against the dangers of complacency and self-righteousness, urging readers to strive for spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God.Overall, The Strait Gate: The Heavenly Footman, The Barren Fig Tree, The Pharisee And Publican, And Divine Emblems is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
