Synopsis
8.5" x 5.75". Part of Thomas Merton's legacy, in addition to his own body of work, is the writings about his which continue to shed new light on this modern renaissance man. Throughout his life as a Trappist monk, Merton was deeply concerned with the basic realities and values of human life. In this unique in-depth study Frederic Kelly reveals Merton's concept of religious man and also the shift in his concerns from religious ones to contemporary secular problems suchh as the threat of nuclear annihilation, war and peace, violence and the non-violent alternatives for social change, race and racism,modern trends towards de-humanization, Marxism and the threat of collectivism, ecology, Christian renewal and ecumenism, oriental spirituality, and secularism and the process of secularization.Merton's thought on these subjects, his understanding of who man really is and what man should do in confrontation with these problems, is a valuable contribution to the understanding of contemporary religious man.
