In his epic Paradise Lost, John Milton employs, extends, and deepens the typological scheme that he believed to be embodied in, and known by, a close comparison of the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Using biblical typology as a point of departure, whereby the Hebraic scriptures are interpreted as prefigurations of the Christian New Testament, Milton developed a sign theory, or semiotics, of his own. Like Saint Augustine, the first great and foremost framer of sign theory and Christian typology in the West, Milton believed that knowledge of typology and sign theory was crucial to understanding Gods existence, power, and purpose in creation. Miltons achievement was to dramatize this sign theory in his poetry, especially Paradise Lost. Professor Thomas Ramey Watsons analysis of Miltons sign theory begins with the context and framework of Augustinian sign theory and Miltons adaptation thereof. Professor Watson then explores the essential conflicts between St. Augustines City of God and City of Man to contrast the godhead in Paradise Lost with the satanic underworld. Emphasizing Adams dream-vision in Books 11 and 12, and the instruction he receives from the Archangel Michael in reading signs correctly, Professor Watson explores indepth the trajectory of Adam and Eves downfall and subsequent resignation and regeneration.
