In the turmoil of seventeenth century England, John Milton turned from epic poetry to the most intimate battleground of all: marriage. These pages still unsettle readers. A daring theological treatise on divorce, The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce and its companion pieces confront the clash between private conscience, biblical interpretation of marriage and the strictures of church and state. Gathered here in one classic divorce treatises collection are Milton's chief divorce writings: The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce in two books, The Judgement of Martin Bucer, Tetrachordon, and an abridgement of Colasterion. Together they form a classic Christian polemic that probes Protestant views on marriage, the legitimacy of separation, and the emerging history of divorce law in the English civil war era. Engaging closely with Scripture and Reformation thought, these john milton divorce treatises stand as a vital primary source edition for scholars, for theology students, and for readers tracing the development of reformation theology classics collection and early modern political theology. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This careful modern edition offers both casual readers of classic literature and serious researchers a powerful window into Milton's mind at its most combative and searching, preserving a landmark in religious controversy, legal history and the ongoing debate over faith, liberty and the bonds of marriage.
