The two volumes of Reviewing Dante's Theology bring together work
by a range of internationally prominent Dante scholars to assess
current research on Dante's theology and to suggest future
directions for research. Volume 1 considers some of the key
theological influences on Dante. The contributors discuss what
'doctrine' might have meant for Dante and consider the poet's
engagement with key theological figures and currents in his time
including: Christian Aristotelian and scholastic thought, including
that of Thomas Aquinas; Augustine; Plato and Platonic thought;
Gregory the Great; and notions of beatific vision. Each essay
offers an overview of its topic and opens up new avenues for future
study. Together they capture the energy of current research in the
field, test the limits of our current knowledge and set the future
study of Dante's theology on firm ground. Volume 2 considers some
of the broader social, cultural and intellectual contexts for
Dante's theological engagement. The contributors discuss the
relationship between theology and poetry as Dante sees and presents
it; Dante's thought on the nature of the Church; the ways in which
liturgical practice helped shape the poet's work; the links between
Dante's political and theological ideas; the importance of
preaching in Dante's context; the ways in which the notion of
virtue connects theological and ethical thought in Dante's works;
and the extent to which Dante's often surprising, groundbreaking
work tests medieval notions of orthodoxy. Each essay offers an
overview of its topic and opens up new avenues.
