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."--Jacket. 606 $aProvidence and government of God in literature 615 0$aProvidence and government of God in literature. 676 $a821/.4 700 $aWaddington$b Raymond B.$0297758 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826392103321 996 $aLooking into providences$94029630 997 $aUNINA
