Where does evil come from? If there is a sovereign creator God, as Christian faith holds, is this God ultimately responsible for evil? Does God's sovereignty mean that God causes each instance of sin and suffering? How do Satan, his demons and hell fit into God's providential oversight of all creation and history? How does God interact with human intention and action?4/5(5). Thus Milton makes clear that Paradise Lost is not simply an epic poem but is a theodicy, a “defense of God’s goodness and omnipotence in view of the existence of evil” (Merriam-Webster ). This dual purpose required him to focus on both the literary aspects of the poem and the theological argument within it.
John Milton’s Paradise Lost (, ) and Temptation of Adam and Eve () by Masolino, for example, appear to accomplish this by tying sexism to the Fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden. On one hand, both Milton’s epic poem and Masolino’s Fresco point to the idea that Eve, and therefore woman, should be blamed for original sin. Milton is obviously dealing with the fundamental problem of evil in the Christian or theistic universe, the question why humanity must ‘eat the bitter herb of the field’ (7). Adam has become susceptible to human uncertainty and doubt in the face of a hostile world.
I thought the book would run two to three hundred pages. I was very mistaken. The three objectives became three separate books, forming a “Satan and Evil” triology. God at War was the first book in this series and Satan and the Problem of Evil was the second. (The third, The Myth of the Blueprint, is still in the works). In this second book. Milton's Satan provides for us a very human portrait of evil; one which includes pride, blindness and rejection of God's plan. Satan, in order to be able to tempt people into sin, needs to be misleading, seductive and compelling; a one-dimensional Satan would not be capable of tempting Adam and Eve into sin.
