Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained

Two of Milton’s greatest and most recognizable poems, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained are arguably two of the greatest English language works inspired by the Judeo-Christian Bible. The epic poem that earned Milton his unparalleled esteem in literary circles, Paradise Lost focuses on the events of the Fall of Man by following the narrative of Satan, on the one hand, and Adam and Eve, on the other. Moving on to the events of the New Testament, Paradise Regained explores the Temptation of Christ and shares many of the theological themes found in its predecessor. Both fascinating and intriguing works in masterful form, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained remain powerful companion pieces that have inspired continual interpretation and praise.
