SUMMARY
"Surely Hawkins's contribution . . . will stand as one of the offerings most deserving of the laurel wreath the poet himself desired. As one who has regularly led seminarians on Dante's pilgrimage for over twenty-five years, the adjectives that kept recurring as I read Dante's Testaments were: erudite, engrossing, and elegant."Anglican Theological Review "This is a book written from deep love of Dante and an equally deep learning. . . . A beautifully written book, accessible to the general reader, but fascinating and insightful for the scholar, both literary and theological."Theological Book ReviewHawkins, Peter S. is the author of 'Dante's Testaments Essays in Scriptural Imagination' with ISBN 9780804734929 and ISBN 0804734925.
