Providential Design: The Death and Conversion of Adam --Afterword --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWhat is the role of providence in Paradise Lost? In Looking into Providences, Raymond B. Waddington provides the first examination of this engaging subject. He explores the variety of implicit organizational structures or 'designs' that govern Paradise Lost, and looks in-depth at the 'trials,' or testing situations, which require interpretation, choice, and action from its characters. Waddington situates the poem within the context of providentialism's centrality to seventeenth-century thought and life, arguing that Milton's own conception of providence was deeply influenced by the theology of Jacob Arminius. Using Milton's Arminian conception of free will, he then looks at the providential trials experienced by angels and humans. Finally, the work explores the ways in which providentialism infiltrates various kinds of discourse, ranging from military to medical, and from political to philosophical.Providence and government of God in literatureElectronic books.Providence and government of God in literature.821/.4Waddington Raymond B.297758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452481903321Looking into providences2212880UNINA
