My field of expertise is Medieval philosophy and theology as a background to Dante's Divine Comedy. Specifically, I have endeavored to demonstrate that Singleton's thesis of the Comedy is based on an erroneous interpretation of St. Thomas, and that Dante's journey under Virgil's guidance through Inferno and Purgatory is an effect of (not a preparation for) sanctifying grace, which Dante has already received before entering the world beyond.
