About the Show

This event is currently full, but we have a wait list and will most likely open up some more seats. Click here to put your name down on the wait list.

Christians believe that Jesus is Lord, and to him every knee shall bow. What does this mean in a liberal political culture like our own? What kind of public authority should religious believers seek for God’s revelation? Some of the most fundamental elements of America’s political system are being questioned. American Christians must consider the role that they, the church, and our core institutions ought to play in shaping the future of our political order. Join us as First Things editor Rusty Reno sits down with New York Times columnist and prolific author Ross Douthat for a timely conversation on these and related topics.

A ticket is required to attend this event, please RSVP to reserve seats. The event is free with a suggested donation of $35/person or more. Thank you for supporting Athenaeum Center and First Things.

Dante 360

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.” 

And so we all begin—in darkness.

Join Dante on his most famous journey through the depths of hell, levels upon levels of purgatory, finally discovering the light and glory of paradise. You will find terror in the wild beasts he meets along the way; and only moments later great hope at the strong woman, Beatrice, who leads him always upwards.

This contemporary staged performances of one of the most epic stories of the western world is an immersive, multi-dimensional production that leads you into Dantes universe. Returning to the stage for the 4th year, this year’s production.

Its heaven. It’s hell. But above all, it’s worth the trip.
