[eBook] [PDF] For Milton’s Theological Process 1st Edition By Dr Jason Kerr
This volume proposes a method for reading Milton’s De Doctrina Christiana as an artifact of his process of theological thinking rather than as a repository of his doctrinal views. Jason A. Kerr argues that reading in this way involves attention to the complex material state of the manuscript along with Milton’s varying modes of engagement with scripture and various theological interlocutors, and reveals that Milton’s approach to theology underwent
significant change in the course of his work on the treatise. Initially, Milton set out to use Ramist logic to organize scripture in a way that drew out its intrinsic doctrinal structure. This method had two unintended consequences: it drove Milton to an antitrinitarian understanding of the Son of God, and it obliged
him to reflect on his own authority as an interpreter and to develop an ecclesiology capable of sifting divine truth from human error.
