In Fleshly Tabernacles, Bryan Hampton examines John Milton's
imaginative engagement with, and theological passion for, the
Incarnation. As aesthetic symbol, theological event, and narrative
picture of humanity's potential, the Incarnation profoundly governs
the way Milton structures his 1645 Poems, ponders the holy office
of the pulpit, reflects on the ends of speech and language,
interprets sacred scripture or secular texts, and engages in the
radical politics of the Civil War and Interregnum. Richly drawing
upon the disciplines of historical and postmodern theology,
philosophical hermeneutics, theological aesthetics, and literary
theory, Fleshly Tabernacles pursues the wide-ranging implications
of the heterodox, perfectionist strain in Milton's Christology.
Hampton illustrates how vibrant Christologies generated and shaped
particular brands of anticlericalism, theories of reading and
language, and political commitments of English nonconformist sects
during the turbulent decades of the seventeenth century. Ranters
and Seekers, Diggers and Quakers, Fifth monarchists and some
Anabaptists-many of those identified with these radical groups
proclaim that the Incarnation is primarily understood, not as a
singular event of antiquity, but as a present eruption and charged
manifestation within the life of the individual believer, such that
faithful believers become "fleshly tabernacles" housing the Divine.
The perfectionist strain in Milton's theology resonated in the
works of the Independent preacher John Everard, the Digger Gerrard
Winstanley, and the Quaker James Nayler. Fleshly Tabernacles
intriguingly demonstrates how ideas of the incarnated Christ
flourished in the world of revolutionary England, expressed in the
notion that the regenerated human self could repair the ruins of
church and state.

important contribution to the field of Milton studies, as well as
to the study of seventeenth-century radical English religious
thought. His work has further implications for the study of
comparative hermeneutics, proposing provocative continuities and
correlations between medieval and early modern approaches to
interpretation on the one hand, and contemporary theories of
language and meaning on the other. Exhaustively researched and
meticulously annotated, Hampton's readings of incarnational
epistemologies offer a wealth of insights and suggestive parallels
among early modern writers who are not often taken together."
