Thomas Merton Prophet of Renewal (Paperback)
Like Bernard of Clairvaux, whose last act was to leave his cloister to mediate--successfully--between two nobles and prevent bloodshed, Thomas Merton found in the monastic life of prayer a source of strength, empathy, and understanding. It was after he developed a concern for the authenticity of monastic life and worked for monastic renewal within his community and the Cistercian Order that he contributed to the renewal of society by witnessing to that peace and justice which favor human holiness and happiness. Rightly to understand Merton, one must first know him as a Prophet of Monastic Renewal.
