Description

|
|
|
A Trappist monk and an activist for peace and civil rights, Thomas Merton (1915–68) is recognized for his pioneering work in contemplative spirituality, his quest to understand Eastern thought and integrate it with Western spirituality, and his firm belief in Christian activism. Penning more than 70 books, including his classic spiritual memoir The Seven Storey Mountain, Merton was also one of the most prolific and provocative letter writers of the 20th century. This collection, culled from more than 10,000 exchanges, shows how his correspondence was a personal act of self-revelation and a primary means for initiating, maintaining, and deepening relationships.
