The choice of Dante

So in Canto II, Dante begins to feel like he is unworthy to be placed amongst the ranks of Aeneas and Saint Paul, but Virgil tells him Saint Lucia had determined that he was the be helped. Now that makes me wonder...why Dante? Does god almighty have something in plan for him? I'm starting to think this is a foreshadow, as well as a life changer in real life for Dante the Poet. Like the way he lived his life was not the "correct" way. In a way this book was meant to be a "rebirth" for Dante.

So thesis style "In the Divine Comedy, Dante manages to express his rebirth as a Christian" Or something like that.
