Description

"Paradise Regained" by John Milton, a profound sequel to "Paradise Lost," turns its focus to the biblical tale of Jesus Christ's temptation in the wilderness. Challenging Satan's cunning offers of worldly power and glory, Jesus stands firm, embodying spiritual resilience and humility. Imbued with rich theological insight, the poem explores themes of redemption, obedience, and divine purpose. Through majestic verse, Milton showcases the triumph of faith over temptation, highlighting a path to spiritual restoration and ultimate victory for humanity.

Author

John Milton (1608–1674) wrote the English epic that still defines the language of heaven and hell. Paradise Lost, composed in blank verse after the Civil War and in the darkness of his blindness, retells the Fall with a grandeur that makes Satan magnetic and Adam and Eve painfully human. Milton was also a polemicist for liberty — of press, of conscience, of the commonwealth — and a civil servant under Cromwell.
