Introduction One of the most debated topics of Dante's epic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is his theology of Limbo. There are numerous theories regarding the possible salvation or lack of salvation for those in Limbo, especially the virtuous pagans. Two theories regarding what Dante says about the salvation of Limbo stand out. The first and most popular opinion of scholars is that those in Limbo are stuck there forever. The second and less popular one is that those in Limbo could possibly be saved either through progressing in the afterlife or at the Final Judgment. In this essay, I will examine the less popular interpretation regarding the salvation of Virgil and possibly the other souls in Limbo as well.
Fascinating and thorough. I'm always trying to figure out Limbo, since I've been told and read contradictory explanations. It's a personal issue for me since I lost a baby in utero @19 weeks. Spiritually, my issue was solved. I just wrote about this on my stack if you're interested. Blessings.
Fabulous article
The Divine Comedy is not in the same league as Scripture.
