The episode explores the themes and significance of Dante's Paradiso with Dr. Jonathan Juilfs.

In this concluding chapter of our journey through Dante’s Commedia , Dr. Junius Johnson and Fr. Wesley Walker are joined by Dr. Jonathan Juilfs to explore the radiant heights of Paradiso . The conversation centers on the idea that the third canticle is not a boring landscape of static perfection, but rather the very “point” of the entire project grounded in the medieval understanding of capacity and divine alignment.
