God, Man, and Satan [Paperback]

Treating John Milton'sParadise Lostas a Christian vision of reality and BunyansPilgrims Progressas an allegory of the Christian life, Roland Mushat Frye brings together two seventeenth-century works in this highly original literary study. He sees the writings both as art and as theological expression, and his analysis penetrates each aspect.Paradise Lost(once considered a monument to dead ideas) and Bunyans work are found to speak with relevance to todays theological ferment; and the contributions of such modern thinkers as Kierkegaard, Niebuhr, and Tillich illumine the design of the two works. The authors imagination and literary insight give fresh perspective to two English classics.
