The pocket Thomas Merton / edited with an introduction by Robert Inchausti ; foreword by Robert A. F. Thurman.

Merton, Thomas, 1915-1968 (author.). Inchausti, Robert, 1952- (editor,, writer of introduction.). Thurman, Robert A. F., (author of introduction, etc.).

Summary:
Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was spiritual parent to a generation-and his influence, through his many books, has only increased in the half-century since his death. He was a hermit who maintained a compelling correspondence with some of the most influential thinkers of his age; he was a social and political activist whose ideas had a seminal influence in the world beyond his monastic cloister; and he was a Christian who saw through the boundaries of religious identity in a way that was truly ahead of his time. This collection of short excerpts from his voluminous writings covers all of the famous Trappist monk?s main themes, thus serving as a perfect short introduction to his work in his own words.
