Spiritual Architecture And Paradise Regained: Milton's Literary Ecclesiology

Synopsis

Ken Simpson's study, focusing on John Milton's Paradise Regained , examines the literary ecclesiology of this most subtle and elusive of Milton's works. As Simpson asserts, in Paradise Regained , Milton not only continues his critique of the English Reformation by confronting the failures of the Restoration settlement, but he also continues to develop the consistent theology of the church that preoccupied him in his prose during the civil war and Interregnum. Simpson examines Milton's view of the church as a textual community - a group of participants in the church who are each guided by the Holy Spirit in their reading of the Word. Simpson's provocative and unique examination of Milton and Paradise Regained will become an indispensable study, offering new views of this somewhat neglected poem.
