“If you are considering taking a journey with Dante into Hell and beyond, I would recommend you take Travis Patten and Christopher Hurtado along as your tour guides.  They have developed a course style that is informal enough to make it feel like sitting around with good friends at the table over a cup of cocoa, while delving into profoundly deep materials that at the very least will impact your thoughts and could change your whole way of seeing the world. This is not hyperbole. Dante has been known to have that effect on people.”
