![]() ![]() Only through Christ’s externalization of independent, rational intuition through dialogue with an interlocutor can he achieve a level of humane heroism unprecedented in the New Testament. In Paradise Regained, Christ, like the poet, being closer to God, can justify the ways of God to readers through his wholly human responses to Satan’s wily temptations and wonderfully perverse discourse. Although much of the scholarship on Milton’s Paradise Regained and Christian Doctrine focuses on his heretical Arianism, there is still much to be explored in Milton’s corrections of what he believed to be prelatical corruptions of the New Testament. ![]() ![]() Milton undoubtedly attempts to reform scriptural conceptions of heroism throughout Paradise Regained through his radical displacement of Christ from the traditional Christian Trinity. ![]() The link between his progression as a poet and his radical support for the toleration of scriptural interpretation then crystalizes, producing a more precise understanding of the intentions that lie behind Milton’s portrayals of heroism. When parallels are drawn between the young radical intellectual who composed the anti-prelatic tract Of Reformation and the elder master poet of Paradise Regained, the path to a more complete grasp of John Milton’s poetic vision is approached. ![]()
