Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2002.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A treasury of wisdom from the influential Christian contemplative, political activist, social visionary, and literary figure.</b> <p/>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. <p/>This book is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series. <p/>The Shambhala Pocket Library is a collection of short, portable teachings from notable figures across religious traditions and classic texts. The covers in this series are rendered by Colorado artist Robert Spellman.
