Today on MARSHMALLOWS BY THE HELLFIRE we get this journey to hell started! Today I reflect on Cantos 1, 2 and 3 of Dante's Inferno and compare Dante's spiritual journey to spiritual journeys we have in the Bible. Along the way we will talk about Jacob wrestling with God, the famous epithet on Hell's Gateway, and how Grace is like God jumping us! So come, grab a marshmallow, come by the Hellfire (cover art by Blanca) and lets talk about the Divine Comedy!Brief quotations are from Esolen's translation (highly recommend)
