John Milton: Classical Learning and the Progress of Virtue

John Milton is well-known as the author of Paradise Lost and is lauded as one of the best-educated men of his day. In John Milton: Classical Learning and the Progress of Virtue author Dr. Grant Horner examines Milton's vision of a Christian and classical education. Addressing questions such as how to handle pagan texts, how to develop a theology of aesthetics, and why we must grapple with the relationship between pagan wisdom and scripture, this book will serve as a thorough introduction to the complex thought of one of the Puritan intellectual giants. 104 pages, softcover.
