My book on Milton basically argues that he's the most important liberal Protestant theologian, for he sees the need to detach the Gospel from institutional authority. Diarmaid MacCulloch calls it 'a vigorous pen-portrait of one of Protestantism's greatest writers which has the great virtues of taking his Protestantism seriously, and of saying without any hesitation that Milton's Protestantism speaks to the modern Western world as much as it did to the tyrants and tidy-minded ideologies of his own day.'
