“Having studied Dante’s Inferno at BYU many years ago (and not enjoying it) I was surprised at how enjoyable the reading was for me this time around.  Travis and Christopher were able to bring historical, political and religious context to the poem that served invaluable in understanding it. The forum for studying the poem was also very conducive to different personalities and learning. If one is more reserved one can just sit back and listen to others commentary as they read along.  On the other hand, if one is more apt to be more engaged in asking questions and providing commentary during the class, one is welcomed and encouraged to do so.  Travis and Christopher were both very patient and willing to listen to others thoughts and ideas on the poem.  No one was ever made to feel that their comments were wrong or silly which encouraged further discussion.  I appreciate the depth and breadth of  knowledge that Travis and Christopher brought to the experience of learning this respected poem.”
