I would agree -- but controversies over Milton's theology _never_ conclude! :-) I'm less familiar with Milton criticism after the mid '80s but there was a huge fuss in the late '90s over the claim one scholar made that _de doctrina christiana_ was not written by Milton. Critics who want to keep him orthodox have really glommed on to that.
