Dante, Mercy, and the Beauty of the Human Person - Paperback

by Leonard J. Delorenzo (Editor), Vittorio Montemaggi (Editor), Robin Kirkpatrick (Afterword by)

Dante, Mercy, and the Beauty of the Human Person is a pilgrimage to rediscover the spiritual and humanizing benefit of the Commedia. Treating each cantica of the poem, this volume offers profound meditations on the intertwined themes of memory, prayer, sainthood, the irony of sin, theological and literary aesthetics, and desire, all while consistently reflecting upon the key themes of mercy and beauty in the revelation of the human person within the drama of divine love.
