Argues that Milton’s Incarnational Poetics or Logocentrism is nowhere more evident than in Paradise Regained, a poem which serves as a meditation upon the Four Gospels, most particularly the Gospel of St. John, the fullest theological pronouncement upon the Son’s Divinity

Reviews

“. . . adroitly weaves in the requisite theology and secondary literature to present readers with a fresh, well-written and luminous interpretation of Milton’s magesteral epic poem.” – Dr. Robert McDonnell, St Joseph’s College

“Above all, [the author] gives a convincing reading of the vexed question of how far the Jesus of the poem is Man, and how far He is God.” – Prof. Anthony Low, New York University
