Description
Dante the pilgrim and Virgil finally descend to the first circle of hell: Limbo, Virgil's home. The old poet turns pale--but why? (Well, also, how?) And the old poet explains his theology of hell. Should we take it at face value? Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I wrestle with the complicated notion of limbo in Dante's cosmic landscape, THE DIVINE COMEDY.
