RESUME,
This work examined Jesus' messianism and heroism as captured in John Milton's Paradise Regained. We therefore tried to show how man's disobedience led him fall. In the course of our discusion, we exposed how Jesus comes to save man through his obedience. We further discussed how he overcame temptations in his fights with Satan in the wilderness. His obedience to God's word leads him to victory. Our Study was carried out against the hypothesis that the fall of man orchestrates the heroic intervention of Jesus as messiah in John Milton's Paradise Regained. This work further posited that Jesus' victory become the source of man's redemption. Man, who was oppessed by Satan is now free and can live the new life in Jesus. This work was written against the backdrop of New Historicism approach as well as the Mythological approach. In this way, it shows that the life of the author as well as the myth affected greatly this work as demonstrated in Paradise Regained by john Milton.
