Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850) referred to Dante's crowned \"visionary brow.\" Irish novelist James Joyce (1882-1941) said \"Dante is my spiritual food!\" Pope Benedict XV (1854-1922) called Dante \"the most eloquent singer of the Christian idea.\" Even the 20th century literary critic T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) famously wrote that \"Shakespeare and Dante divide the world between them, there is no third.\"</span><br /><br /><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Yet today this great poem is often dismissed by modern scholars for its unabashed Catholic theology and deep spiritual vision. Shrug off these skeptical scholars disdain and discover for yourself the true grandeur, Christian nature, and sheer artistry of Dante's <em>Divine Comedy</em>.</span></div>\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>LECTURES</strong></span></center></div>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Cantos 1&ndash;3: Where Are You Going, Traveler?</strong></span><br /><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dante, bewildered in sin, meets Virgil, sent to him by Beatrice.
