What Milton got wrong about Adam and Eve in 'Paradise Lost'

God’s Common Grace means that vestiges of truth are found throughout the great literature in history, both within and outside of various Judeo-Christian literary traditions. However, when literature draws from the Biblical texts, it is important that we not unconsciously switch the two in our minds! A clear example of this is John Milton’s beautiful epic 10-Book poem, “Paradise Lost”!
