Summary

Paradise Regained is a poem by John Milton, written as a sequel to his epic 'Paradise Lost'. The poem focuses on the biblical story of the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke. In contrast to 'Paradise Lost', this work is shorter and more concentrated in its narrative. It details how Christ resists the various temptations offered by Satan and ultimately reclaims the lost paradise for humanity through his obedience to God.
