Summary: "Paradise Regained" by John Milton is a poetic work written during the 17th century, specifically in the Puritan age, which explores themes of temptation, redemption, and the nature of Christ. This epic poem serves as a sequel to Milton's earlier work, "Paradise Lost," and centers on the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, ultimately highlighting His unwavering obedience and strength in the face of evil, represented by Satan. The poem recounts the events following Jesus' baptism, where he ventures into the wilderness to confront the Tempter. Throughout four books, Milton illustrates the intense dialogue between Christ and Satan, exploring the moral and philosophical implications of temptation and free will. Each temptation presented by Satan is met with Christ’s profound reflections on faith, power, and true glory, emphasizing that His reign will come through spiritual victory rather than earthly power. Ultimately, through steadfastness and divine will, Jesus overcomes the Tempter's malice, re-establishing the hope of redemption for mankind, signifying the triumph of salvation and the foiling of sin's threat to humanity.
