Why Dante Matters - a conversation with the Church Times podcast

Mark Vernon talks about Dante and his new book, Dante’s Divine
Comedy: A Guide for the Spiritual Journey (Angelico Press) at the
Church Times podcast.

This year marks 700 years since Dante’s death, and the Church
Times of 10 September 2021 includes features by Robin Ward and
Alexander Faludy, as well as several reviews of books published
to mark the anniversary.

In a Church Times review of Mark’s book, Jonathan Boardman
describes it as a “detailed and immensely thoughtful commentary.
. . His personal experience as a psychotherapist and student of
philosophy, polished further with physics, theology, and
ordination, opens . . . a very special reflective door into
Dante’s thinking and expression: its dreamlike design is peppered
constantly with personal experience and knowledge.”
