| Summary |
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 Milton's approach to theology underwent significant change in the course of his work on this treatise |
