When Jesus was baptized, Heaven announced that he was the son of
God. After the joyous celebration, Jesus went back to his mother's
house to hear the story of his miraculous birth, which inspired
Jesus to go on a journey to become even closer to God. Trusting his
God and strong in his love for him, Jesus set out for a forty-day
trip into the desert with no food, as he planned to fast in order
to eliminate distractions. Meanwhile, Satan overheard the
declaration that Jesus was the son of God. After meeting with his
followers, Satan decides that he will corrupt Jesus just as he
corrupted Adam and Eve. Excited to hurt God once again, Satan
accompanies Jesus to the desert. As Satan disguises himself and
attempts to tempt Jesus with food, power, and vanity, he tries to
appeal to the vehement nature of human hunger. Through promises of
power and appeals to Jesus' ego, Satan is relentless. However, as
Jesus deflects and rebukes Satan's attempts, the fallen angel
realizes that Jesus will be much more difficult to ruin than Adam
and Eve-but that doesn't mean Satan will give up. Separated into
four books, Paradise Regained follows a biblical story from the
gospel of Luke, and reimagines the interaction, dialogue, and
results of Jesus and Satan's time in the desert with a new
perspective. With direct language and modest syntax, Paradise
Regained examines themes of theology and focuses on the human
hunger, both for the physical and spiritual. Paradise Regained
comprises of similar themes and ideas as John Milton's esteemed
work, Paradise Lost, however Paradise Regained tells a story of
redemption instead of ruin, making this classic the perfect sequel
to Paradise Lost. This edition of Paradise Regained by John Milton
is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features a striking
new cover design. With these accommodations, Paradise Regained is
restored to modern standards while preserving its original mastery,
providing an accessible and desirable experience for contemporary
readers.
