- Title
MILTON'S WELL PLEASING SON: A NOTE ON DE DOCTRINA CHRISTIANA AND PARADISE LOST III.274-276.
- Authors
Harris, Neil
- Abstract
This article critically appraises the book "De doctrina Christiana," by John Milton. Outside the major poetry, the most formidable work in the Miltonic canon is the "De Doctrina Christiana," the key to a personal theology which also informs the epics, not published in the author's lifetime and discovered by chance in a Whitehall cupboard at the beginning of the last century. In Book I, chapter 5,01 De Doctrina, Milton produces a sheaf of texts to support his argument that the Bible provides no basis for the doctrine of the Trinity and that the Son is to be considered subordinate to the Father.
