Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 i really like the Poem. I think everyone should read it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Whose translation are you reading? Dante's Divine Comedy is my favorite piece of literature. I like [i]Purgatorio[/i] best. Someday I want to learn enough Italian (or.... er, whatever it's technically written in) to read the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paphnutius Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I think the thing that I took most from the inferno is not to be sorry for the souls in hell for it is God's justice being fulfilled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I loved reading the Inferno. I remember in high school I only got a 100 on one English test and it just happened to be a test on the Inferno. I knew that story inside and out. I want to read the other two parts of the Divine Comedy sometime, not to mention rereading the Inferno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I just bought a copy today for like $2 that has side by side italian to english translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam42 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well....considering that personal revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle..... And The Divine Comedy is best read in Italian. It loses it's tambor in translation....the Cantos are so beautiful. Dante Rocks!!!!! Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwyrm Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 A one of the English teachers at my school had her students do a project after they read the Inferno - they had to write about a person they knew who they would put in hell and why (because that's basically what Dante did, put all the people he didn't like in hell). Can you say CREEPY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 [quote]Someday I want to learn enough Italian (or.... er, whatever it's technically written in) to read the original.[/quote] yeah its written in Itialian. I am reading a new translation By robert pinsky. I hope to be able to read the Entire Divine Comedy but right now im only on the inferno. i have a question though, because im not completley sure about this: I thought Divine Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle and that people still today could experience personal revelation?

Brother Adam Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The key is in the wording: People can experience PRIVATE revelation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
