Paradise Lost 5

Interesting in this chapter is where Milton seems to deviate from the doctrine of the trinity that I assume was around at his time. "This day I have befot whom I declare my only Son and on this holy hill Him have anointed whom ye now behold At My right hand." (603-604) Instead of a trinity godhead that each together have the traits of God (omnipotent, eternal, omnipresent, etc.), Milton instead defines Christ as having an originating point instead of being consistently eternal backwards and forwards in existence.
