2025 Conference - The Divine Word in Human Words: Theology as Poetry
2025 Conference - The Divine Word in Human Words: Theology as Poetry
Join us for our 9th Annual Fall conference on Dante’s Divine Comedy with acclaimed scholars Dr. Robert Royal and Dr. Jason Baxter. Together, they will guide us through Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, revealing how Dante’s epic is more than poetry—it is a profound theological journey.
Explore how the Inferno shows the disfigurement of the soul through sin, how Purgatorio reveals the healing power of grace, and how Paradiso points to the ultimate fulfillment of the human person in God.
Dr. Baxter will illuminate Dante’s poetic imagination and symbolic world, while Dr. Royal will unpack the theological richness and enduring relevance of the Comedy in today’s secular age.
Whether you’re a newcomer or a longtime reader of Dante, this conference offers a chance to rediscover Catholic theology, the nature of the soul, and the path to holiness through one of history’s greatest literary masterpieces.
