| | John Milton |
 | | Milton justified his belief on purely scriptural grounds, though it is not improbable that he was influenced by contemporary writings, both scientific and theological. | | | With Ellwood Milton would have shared an emphasis on an inner light as a guide to faith, the continuing revelation of Scripture, and the belief that ‘They also serve who only stand and wait’. | | | Milton concurred on this last point: ‘we should feel certain that God has not decreed that everything must happen inevitably. |

| | Milton gradually broke away from the Presbyterians, and in 1649 he wrote The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, which supported the Independents who had imprisoned King Charles in the Puritan Revolution. | | | His dislike of the increasing ritualism in the Church of England was the reason he later gave for not fulfilling his plans to become a minister. | | | His pamphlets, which attacked the episcopal form of church government, include Of Reformation in England (1641) and The Reason of Church Government Urged against Prelaty (1642). |

| | Griswold: Biographical Introduction to John Milton |
| | His form was cast in the finest mould of manly beauty; no one surpassed him in elegance of manners; and his carriage "bespoke undauntedness and courage." His voice was variably musical, and his conversational abilities never were approached, perhaps, unless in those of one of the most illustrious Englishmen of this present age. | | | To this Bishop Hall replied, and Milton now answered the accumulated attacks upon the Presbyterian party (who were hardly a match for their opponents) and himself, in the Apology for Smectymnuus. | | | In none of his great works is there a passage from which it can be inferred that he was an Arian; and in the very last of his writings he declares that "the doctrine of the Trinity is a plain doctrine in Scripture." |

| | Uxoriousness, Genesis, and John Milton's Paradise Lost |
| | According to Hard Sayings of the Bible, this word usually means "side" in Hebrew; therefore, "as some Reformers put it, woman was not taken from man's feet, as if she were beneath him, or from his head, as if she were over him, but from his side, as an equal with him" (Kaiser 95). | | | The rib is also significant because in contrast to "an ancient view that the gods played a trick on man by creating woman of inferior material," God's choice of the rib "affirms the woman to be of the same essence as man ('bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,' Gen 2:23)" (Kaiser 666). | | | The Bible teaches that "unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required" (Luke 12.48). |

| | Amazon.com: Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (Signet Classics (Paperback)): Books: John Milton |
| | Jesus, as narrated in "Paradise Regained," is the exemplary resister of Temptation, rejecting Satan's offer of world domination and his challenges to test his faith in God by turning stones to bread and casting himself from the top of the temple's spire. | | | Milton explores these problems with a refreshingly fresh perspective -- strictly within the Christian tradition, to be sure, but far from fundamentalist, and even quite radical for its day. | | | You can understand - and enjoy - most of what he says even without the footnotes (though you'll miss 90% of the allusions without them). |

| | That is, he believed that the Father exists eternally, and that He begat the Son (and "before he was begotten, he was not"), and that the Son then created the physical universe. | | | Satan, originally called Lucifer ("light-bearer") was one of the greatest of the angelic beings who serve God in Heaven. | | | If we take "beget" as "bring into existence," this would mean that the Son is created after the angels, which is nonsense, since Milton makes it explicit that it is only through the Son that the angels and all other things are created (John 1:3). |

| | Milton was born in Cheapside, London, in 1608, the son of John Milton, Sr., a prosperous scrivener, notary, and composer, and Sara Jeffrey Milton. | | | This view constituted a complete about-face for Milton, who had written as a good monarchist in his early works. | | | Having, as he related, embarked from a sense of duty upon "a troubled sea of noises and hoarse disputes," he declared his Puritan allegiance in tracts in which he argued the need to purge the Church of England of all vestiges of Roman Catholicism and restore the simplicity of the apostolic church. |
