Love it, but did they have access to our current standard works, or the completely revised version that shall someday be revealed as each comma, and word are slowly shifted and changed?
Just read part of Milton's "Paradise Lost" in class with students--it's got such a great angle on the whole war in heaven bit (which, from my education, didn't seem to exist anywhere but in the Mormon account--isn't it great when your eyes are opened?). Lucifer is such a bad ass--and he is talking with Beelzebub about their current predicament; he calls God out on being a tyrant, and vows that "to do aught good never will be our task, / But ever to do ill our sole delight, / As being the contrary to his high will / whom we resist." He talks about his eternal nature and questions why God would have left him and the demons with strength and eternal nature intact.
He then utters some of his most famous words: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven".
I find it fascinating that Milton made such an interesting character of Lucifer...
