Lectures on John Milton’s Paradise Lost – Discourses on Minerva
In this series of online lectures, we explore John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. The first lecture deals with a summary analysis of the theology of the poem, focusing on Milton’s theology of the passions (eros) as it relates to Puritanism, Adam and Eve, Satan, love, sin, and redemption. The second lecture concerns itself with reading and understanding the history and context of Milton’s life and the poem and how this leads to irony and satire within the work. The third and final lecture deals with understanding the famous “War in Heaven” passages in the epic.
LECTURE ONE: THE EROTIC THEOLOGY OF JOHN MILTON & PARADISE LOST
