Why does Dante’s Divine Comedy still speak so powerfully today — even in a digital age that often flattens the human experience? In this rich conversation, Dr. Jason Baxter (Director of the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College, author of Why Literature Still Matters and A Beginner’s Guide to Dante’s Divine Comedy) joins Dr. Travis Coblentz of Tactical Faith to explore the enduring wisdom of Dante’s masterpiece. They discuss: • How great literature integrates the senses, affections, and intellect — shaping not just what we think, but who we become • Dante’s moral vision in the Inferno, the transformative journey of Purgatorio, and the role of Beatrice in pointing us toward divine love • Why literature helps us recover attention, find our blind spots, and resist the abstracting pressures of modern culture This dialogue serves as a wonderful preview of Dr. Baxter’s upcoming keynote at Tactical Faith’s Worldview Academy 2026 (July 17–18), themed “Finding Our Way with Dante.” Whether you’ve read Dante or are simply curious about why classic literature remains vital for faith, formation, and cultural renewal, this conversation offers fresh insight into one of the greatest works in the Western tradition. 📚 Resources: Why Literature Still Matters by Jason Baxter A Beginner’s Guide to Dante’s Divine Comedy by Jason Baxter Register for Worldview Academy 2026: https://tacticalfaith.com/worldview/world-view-academy-2026/ Follow Tactical Faith for more conversations at the intersection of faith, beauty, and culture.
