Summary
John Milton’s wrote Paradise Lost to justify the ways of God to man. There are many impressive things about Milton’s effort, but two of the most impressive are: 1) he is able to locate the most challenging point in history (the Fall of two sinless beings) without compromising God’s sovereignty or power; 2) he does this with an impressive level of confidence (thus the connection with Louisville native Muhammad Ali). His brilliance is this: Milton knows that if he can win the battle at this most difficult point, then he has won the battle at every point.
