John Milton

John Milton (1608–1674) war ein englischer Dichter, Gelehrter und politischer Publizist in London, der auch als Staatsbeamter unter Oliver Cromwell wirkte. Bekannt ist er vor allem für sein Versepos Paradise Lost sowie für seine philosophische Verteidigung der Rede- und Gewissensfreiheit in der Areopagitica. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Werk Grundfragen von freiem Willen, Schöpfung und Sündenfall, auch wenn seine Verteidigung der Hinrichtung Karls I. und seine antitrinitarischen Notizen theologische und politische Kontroversen auslösten.
