This is a detailed, even technical, analysis of Kazantzakis writings, based primarily upon Owen’s research at Kazantzakis’s personal library in Iraklion, Crete. Owens highlights how Kazantzakis was profoundly influenced by the “creative evolution” of Henri Bergson, and how Bergson’s creative evolution was rooted in a notion of God postulated by the mystic Jacob Boehme.

"Dante's Purgatory as 'retold' by Kathryn is clear, potent, and remarkably comprehensible, with her useful (and necessary) notes conveniently placed at the bottom of each page.... Certainly this vigorous version of Purgatory is a successful rendition for the nineties, as well as for whatever the 21st cntury will be called. Most highly recommended."
--Nancy-Lou Patterson, in The Canadian C. S. Lewis Journal
It is sufficient to say the Kathryn Lindskoog has provided a very readable and engaging introduction to Dante. Many new readers will have reason to be grateful to her.
- Seven: an Anglo-American Literary Review
Dante's Divine Comedy: Journey to Joy, by Kathryn Lindskoog, is a delight to read. This is definately a reader-friendly retelling of Dante's Christian classic.

This careful analysis of a millennium of Christian art outlines the path by which Christians reinterpreted the Hebrew Scriptures to prove they foretold the ascendancy of Christianity. Starting with a solid introduction to the origins of Christianity and the beginnings of Christian art in the catacombs of Rome, Claman skillfully demonstrates the development of the anti-Jewish message of Christian art. The study culminates with analyses of the majestic cathedral at Chartres, the public burning of the Talmud in Paris in 1248, and the expulsion of the Jews from France and England.
Includes b&w images and color plates.
