On John Milton's Religious Thoughts With The Case Study Of Paradise Lost

The great theology poem Paradise Lost written by John Milton, attracted lots of theologians, writers and social historians for its unique perspective to describe the Christian myths.Milton has some specific theological point of view in Paradise Lost, as to say, the special image of Satan, put the son of God from New Testament into creation myth medium of Old Testament, Etc. This paper attempts to use the methods like "Contextualization Removed" and "Absolutely Contextualization" to discuss. First, sort out the history ideas, then explain combined with the background of Milton's life, finally, Sublimation."Free Will" is the core doctrine of Christianity, and also as the fundamental human's faith. First of all, the "free will" in Paradise Lost is reflected in Satan, his abuse of "free will" to rebel God, and want be God himself, eventually, fall from the angels to the devil; The second embodiment was Eva eat the forbidden fruit, and losing eternal life, and punished by God to living with "sin"; The third point is the human's ancestors moved to God's "Incarnation", and choose to use "free will" to Composite with God, and then eliminate their sin. These viewpoints not only reflects Milton's "justification by faith" and the Protestant theological proposition, or implies that Revolutionary era and how people choose the government's political views, but also the poet expressed the importance of civic education.Satan is the core of the most unique concept of Paradise Lost, Satan is a Christian symbol, a symbol of God against the devil, Satan which described by Milton shows an aristocratic temperament, rather than the traditional image of evil. He first performance of a revolutionary spirit-who generally believed that Satan implies a resistance to the divine right of kings -this fight is not destined to succeed, but reflect a shock from below is sufficient; Secondly, Satan demonstrates a spirit of classical tragedy, he, as God's purpose tool without knowing, in fact, and God finally awaken mankind to the faith of the new Composite of the road; Finally, Milton make his felling of blind into Satan, let him have a pioneer spirit to explore a restricted area, like the moon in night reflects the sun is actually shining the glory from God.God in Paradise Lost is designed as two split part, Milton designed the scenes of Father talk to the Son showing a scene of "transfer power", which actually use "New Testament spirit" to explain the "Old Testament myth", Milton tried to show the reader about the image of God in creation myth from stiff, cold to a image as God in human's deep inner feelings, and changed its core spirit of the "Old Testament" as "law" into "the spirit of New Testament" as "love and devotion".Sin has always been as a mystical in the history of theology, God uses the "dead" as the imperative symbol of punishment, for the human's specific "self-righteous" and led human to the resulting loss of asymmetry, human cannot understand the grace of God and the precepts, "death" Is only a "divine mercy and divine law is less than rational" understanding of the form of the formula. The purpose of human's confession is reality of their own to locate themselves, human inherited the Sin, and also inherited the existence of a confirmation of their own, which means they inherited the a knowledge of God and salvation.In addition, three poem which created in the late years of Milton's life like Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Fighters Samson as a continuity, Milton embodies the mentality of his blindness:Satan in Paradise Lost appear as Resisters, is a symbol of the spirit of revolutionary and to be as punishment of blindness for the disrespect God; The temptation to regain visibility through the bright hope of Jesus in Paradise Regained, a symbol of the poem re-creation was God's light; Fighters Samson select to die to "Nirvana" is a symbol of transcendence in his later years of life and death of the country's new access to God.This continuity of thought would be applied to the interpretation of Paradise Lost, and obtained a series of theological understanding of Milton's unique thought about "human":Satan had been punished for his abuse of free will and against God;Human tempted by Satan for their "free will"; Human got salvation because the son of God gone to the Cross; new understanding of God's image. Thus we could understand the real idea of John Milton about eliminating the "original sin", even show a complete view of Milton's innovations theological thought.
