Paradise Regained comprises of similar themes and ideas as John Miltons esteemed work, Paradise Lost, however Paradise Regained tells a story of redemption instead of ruin, making this classic the perfect sequel to Paradise Lost. With direct language and modest syntax, Paradise Regained examines themes of theology and focuses on the human hunger, both for the physical and spiritual. Separated into four books, Paradise Regained follows a biblical story from the gospel of Luke, and reimagines the interaction, dialogue, and results of Jesus and Satans time in the desert with a new perspective. However, as Jesus deflects and rebukes Satans attempts, the fallen angel realizes that Jesus will be much more difficult to ruin than Adam and Eve-but that doesnt mean Satan will give up. Through promises of power and appeals to Jesus ego, Satan is relentless. As Satan disguises himself and attempts to tempt Jesus with food, power, and vanity, he tries to appeal to the vehement nature of human hunger. Excited to hurt God once again, Satan accompanies Jesus to the desert. After meeting with his followers, Satan decides that he will corrupt Jesus just as he corrupted Adam and Eve.

Meanwhile, Satan overheard the declaration that Jesus was the son of God. Trusting his God and strong in his love for him, Jesus set out for a forty-day trip into the desert with no food, as he planned to fast in order to eliminate distractions. After the joyous celebration, Jesus went back to his mothers house to hear the story of his miraculous birth, which inspired Jesus to go on a journey to be even closer to God. Book Synopsis When Jesus was baptized, Heaven announced that he was the son of God.
