Abstract
Abstract Why read De Doctrina Christiana if it does not straightforwardly gloss Paradise Lost? This question bears on what it means to read literature theologically, and it invites attention to the literary and creative dimensions of theological writing as such; that is, theological writings, as writing, engage in representation and do not merely record theological views. In this sense, De Doctrina Christiana is worth reading precisely because it unsettles Paradise Lost by revealing a Milton whose theological views were not settled and whose theological thinking resists easy assimilation into whatever larger picture of his life, work, and thought one might wish to assemble.
