Books by Ernest L. Fortin

The first volume of collected essays by Ernest Fortin examines various facets of the unique encounter between biblical religion and Greek philosophy during the early Christian centuries and the Middle Ages, with the aim of uncovering crucial issues to which this encounter gave rise.

Dissent and Philosophy in the Middle Ages offers scholars of Dante's Divine Comedy an integral understanding of the political, philosophical, and religious context of the medieval masterwork. First penned in French by Ernest L. Fortin, one of America's foremost thinkers in the fields of philosophy and theology, Dissidence et philosophie au moyen-%ge brings to light the complexity of Dante's thought and art, and its relation to the central themes of Western civilization. Available in English for the first time through this superb translation by Marc A. LePain, Dissent and Philosophy will make a supremely important contribution to the discussion of Dante as poet, theologian, and philosopher.

This three volume set of collected essays by Ernest Fortin discusses a variety of Catholic Christianity related topics, ranging from its encounter with Greek philosophy up to current issues amidst the rapid changes within the 20th century.
