Research

The research of Dante Among Theologians develops along three principal strands:

• Reading Dante as a theologian among his contemporaries
• Examining the theological reception of Dante over the last seven hundred years
• Reading Dante as both poet and theologian, fostering dialogue with contemporary theology

This work is structured to place these lines of inquiry in ongoing conversation across a range of scholarly settings, with the goal of examining the theological dimensions of Dante’s work in relation to its historical contexts and its reception across time.

The initiative unfolds as an initial three-year cycle (2025–2028), within which these lines of inquiry are developed through coordinated research activities, including conferences, seminars, and scholarly publications.

The initial phase centers on the theme of hope and the theological virtues, which serve as a unifying focus for its research activities and events.
