Dante and the Practice of Humility by Rachel K Teubner

Dante and the Practice of Humility by Rachel K Teubner

Examines humility as theologically central to the Comedy. Canto by canto, Teubner demonstrates the many means by which the poem's theology responds to contemporary readers' concerns. Readers will benefit richly from this gracefully written companion, which also introduces theologians to recent scholarship exploring Dante's religious thought.

'Dante and the Practice of Humility enters and refreshes a field of Dantean debateIt assembles evidence from a great range of medieval sources while offering a comprehensive but subtle account of Dante's poetry. Equally, the volume will stand as an important contribution to theological debate … Its clarity and elegance not only make the piece a pleasure to read, but are also functional in allowing the author to move both gracefully and efficiently from point to point, covering both conceptual and textual complication with notable lightness of touch.' Peter S. Hawkins, Professor of Religion and Literature Emeritus, Yale Divinity School
