Books by Michael Lieb

With full attention to the classical, medievel, and Renaissance traditions that constituted the milieu in which Milton wrote, Lieb explores the sacral basis of Milton's thought. He argues that Milton's responsiveness to the holy as the most fundamental of experiences caused his outlook to transcend immediate doctrinal concerns.

Are Milton's Paradise Lost, Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" missile defence program, our culture's fascination with UFOs and alien abductions, and Louis Farrakhan's views on racial Armageddon somehow linked? This title reveals the connections between these phenomena and the way culture has persistently related the divine to the technological.
