    Hello everyone!

    I'm not particularly active on boards.ie, and I must say this is my first venture into any of the religious forums, but after reading John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, I felt compelled to seek people with a stronger knowledge of the catholic faith than I to answer the question:

    How 'accurate' is Paradise Lost? Or, rather, how accurately does it reflect Catholic teachings and the bible?

    I realise you'll have to have read PL to answer, but if anyone knows, please reply. (And read the book, it's fantastic).

    This doesn't really answer the question. But I think Milton was a protestant.

    Yes, sorry, Dave3x, that's all I can say about it too. Other than to confirm Milton was a Protestant - the original type, Bible believing. Evangelical used to be the term I would have used, but it is now applied to many who Milton and his people would have regarded as utter unbelievers.

    If you want to raise any specific doctrines, etc. in Paradise Lost, maybe some Catholics here can reply. I will be happy to give my take on the matter, as a Christian of Milton's mold.
