Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is priceless for two major reasons: it offers a window into Merton’s contemplative biblical spirituality that he shared with the Trappist novices; and these insights are buttressed by the meticulous editing of O’Connell—his rich interpretive introduction, extensive explanatory notes, and cross references to Merton’s journals, letters, and poetry.”

“Looking with fresh eyes and through interdisciplinary lenses at the task of training pastoral practitioners, Lootens skillfully applies the wisdom and prophetic stance of Thomas Merton to the challenges of interfaith hospital chaplaincy and supervision, natural contemplation and Orthodox pastoral theology, adult education on racism, and training social justice allies.”
