Paradise Regained
Book • 1671
Paradise Regained is a poetic work written by John Milton, first published in 1671.
It serves as a sequel to his earlier work, 'Paradise Lost', and centers on the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.
The poem, divided into four books, depicts the intense dialogue between Jesus and Satan, where Jesus resists various temptations presented by Satan, emphasizing his unwavering obedience and spiritual strength.
The work explores themes of Christian heroism, defined by enduring faith in God and spiritual perseverance, and contrasts with classical notions of heroism by focusing on moral courage rather than physical strength.
Milton composed this 'brief epic' of 2,065 lines, using blank verse and theological themes similar to those in 'Paradise Lost'.
