Spanish term or phrase: sobre lo divino y lo humano
Mi pregunta no tiene nada que ver con la religión. Se trata del título de una entrevista con un personaje en la que se tratan cuestiones de todo tipo, por ejemplo: "Una hora de charla con XXX sobre lo divino y lo humano".

Quisiera encontrar una expresión inglesa en el mismo registro.
Mil gracias por vuestras ideas
