For centuries, readers have marveled at the imaginative brilliance of authors like C. S. Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Charles Williams. But what inspired these literary giants? The Way of Dante takes you on a journey of discovering how the medieval poet Dante Alighieri and his masterwork, The Divine Comedy , shaped their thoughts, artistry, and faith. In The Way of Dante , Richard Hughes Gibson reveals the profound influence of The Divine Comedy on the writings of Sayers, Williams, and Lewis through: • Following the authors as they read, reflect on, and debate Dante’s allegorical journey through hell, purgatory, and heaven. • Challenging common misconceptions about Dante’s work. • Exploring how Dante prompts reflection on sin, love, and glory. • Revealing the psychological, social, and theological lessons learned.
