John Milton re-imagined the nature and function of God every time he wrote about Him. God’s character in any work is determined by narrative or generic pressures more than dogmatic certainty. The God of Paradise Lost exists‚ first and foremost‚ as a character‚ a highly problematic one. Even though God’s spirit pervades and permeates the entire fabric of the poem‚ God comes out as a minor or weakest character in the Divine Action of the poem. Reaction to God’s characterization in the poem has ranged

A Critical Analysis on the Problem of Evil (Theistic Approach) Thesis Statement: The problem of evil is inadequate to disprove the existence of God. The Problem of Evil coined by Epicurus states that: “Either God wants to eradicate evil‚ and cannot; or he can‚ but does not want to. If he wants to‚ but cannot‚ he is impotent.
