About this title

Review:

"Thomas Merton was truly a renaissance man and the wide ranging scholarship on Merton's life and thought published in this Merton Annual witnesses eloquently to this. It is truly as multifaceted as Thomas Merton himself." --Dr. Paul M. Pearson, director and archivist, The Thomas Merton Center, Bellarmine University

"Thomas Merton, monk and author, has entered into legend. "The Merton Annual", with its blend of scholarship, witness, interpretation, and review, embodies the need to engage with Merton in his singularity, not as a legend but as a seeker and prophet of our time with whom the grand, precise dialogue continues." --Roger Lipsey, author, "The Spiritual in 20th Century Art "

About the Author:
