| Resumo: | Now that Miltonists tend to agree that De Doctrina Christiana is a bona fide Miltonic text, critics can confidently weigh the systematic theology of that text against Milton’s poetic works, particularly Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. In painstakingly tracking the redemptive theology of these central Miltonic texts, Russell Hillier elevates the role of the Son, especially in Paradise Lost, to the pride of place that the romantic school of Milton had too perversely, it seems, reserved for Milton’s Satan. Milton’s is indeed a ‘good God’ in Hillier’s saving account, God’s authoritarian and punitive ways either counterbalanced by or at times proleptic of the Son’s multifaceted role as hypostatic God-man or theanthropos. |
