The Dante Society

 "Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost."
-Dante, first lines of Inferno

The Dante Society is our group for graduate students and anybody beyond college interested in fostering the Christian intellectual life in Pittsburgh. All seminars are free of charge. Invite your friends!

From Fall 2026 through Spring 2027 we are hosting a virtual book club of East of Eden on alternating Wednesdays from 7-8PM. Dr. James DeMasi and guests lecturers will lead each meeting. RSVP for any one night and you’ll be added to the mailing list for each meeting!

If you have questions or want to learn more about these events, contact us at admin@beatriceinstitute.org!
