Publisher Description
In Paradise Regained, Satan again is on the prowl, having successfully tempted Adam and Eve, and forced their departure from the Garden of Eden, here he sets out to tempt again - this time Jesus himself, as he comes to the end of his 40 days in the desert. The magisterial poetry of Milton enriches the encounter and, while not matching the greatness achieved in Paradise Lost, provides drama and depth.John Milton (1608-1674) was an English poet and scholar. His classic verse has been studied and enjoyed by many, both for its insight into Milton’s contemporary times and as a literary exploration of Biblical narrative and themes.

Paradise Regained Listener Reviews

" A good book, but in my opinion not on the same level as 'Paradise Lost.' "
— Kirsten, 1/23/2014 -
" Yep, I must agree with everyone else, it's not nearly as good as "Paradise Lost". "
— John, 1/12/2014 -
" Oh Milton!!! I loved this almost as much as I loved Paradise Lost. "
— Becky, 12/31/2013 -
" Very, very insightful. "What kind of things should we seek to know?" "
— Jake, 12/28/2013 -
" Well-composed, but you can tell Milton's heart really wasn't in it. Our Savior is annoyingly perfect in his resistance to temptation. Our Satan seems to have had most of the fight kicked out of him, and lacks the guile and foresight that made him so outstanding in Paradise Lost. "
— Carolyn, 12/24/2013 -

About John Milton
John Milton (1608–1674) is considered to be among the most learned of all English poets. After graduating from Cambridge, Milton undertook six years of self-directed study in theology, philosophy, history, politics, literature, and science. He then spent several years writing pamphlets for the Puritan and Parliamentary causes. His incessant labors setting the typeface eventually led to blindness. His masterpiece, Paradise Lost, was composed in memory and dictated to a scribe.
