The Divine Comedy describes
Dante’s descent into Hell with
Virgil as a guide, his ascent of
Mount Purgatory and encounter
with his dead love, Beatrice and
finally, his arrival in Heaven.
Examining questions of faith,
desire and enlightenment, the
poem is a brilliantly nuanced
and moving allegory of human
redemption.

In this classic, C.S. Lewis, the most
important Christian writer of the
20th century, sets out to persuade

and relevance of universal values,
such as courage and honour, in

the most debated of Lewis’s
extraordinary works.

This work deals with the
relationship between faith
and reason; faith needs reason,
for without reason, it leads
to superstition.
Reason without faith leads to
nihilism and relativism. The key
to the document is the appeal
that unified faith and philosophy
can Stand in harmony without
compromising their mutual
autonomy.

“With this message, I wish to join
the chorus of those who consider
Dante Alighieri to be an artist of
the highest universal value, who
still has much to say and to offer,
through his immortal works, to
those who wish to follow the
route of true knowledge, of the
authentic discovery of the self,
of the world, of the profound
and transcendent meaning
of existence,”
...
wrote the Holy Father, Pope Francis,
for the 750th anniversary of the birth
of Dante Alighieri
