A Monastic Introduction to Sacred Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Merton readers owe renowned Merton scholar Patrick F. O’Connell a debt of gratitude for making available these conferences which Merton gave to his students in the 1950s. O’Connell’s skillful editing and meticulous annotation make this volume an invaluable resource. His substantive and insightful introduction to the volume is a must-read—at once shedding light on how Merton’s approach to Scripture study evolved and illuminating Merton’s own ever deepening experience of the centrality of God’s word in his own life.”

Remembering the Forgotten Merton

History & Biography

“William J. Meegan invites us to remember John Paul as he was—not just the monk-writer’s younger brother but a brave and deeply spiritual person in his own right. Thus, John Paul’s life—with all its twists and turns, its troubles and triumphs—becomes a reminder that God is to be sought and found in the ordinary. Meticulously researched and written with clarity and grace, this book contributes significantly to our understanding of the whole Merton family. It is a must-read!”

The Only Mind Worth Having

Christian Living

“In this beautifully written, richly textured, and carefully nuanced study, Fiona Gardner plumbs the meaning of an important, yet long-neglected, theme in Thomas Merton's writings: the child mind. . . . This book will enrich your understanding of Merton, deepen your appreciation of the spiritual traditions that helped form him, and, perhaps, even cause the child mind within you to awaken.”
