"Saint Augustine's famous noverim me ut noverim Tie ("I would know myself in
order to know Thee") in the Confessions can stand as an encapsulated statement
of the monastic (indeed, Christian) ideal generally. Even a rudimentary glance at
the literature of Christian spirituality demonstrates that fact. It would be out of
place here, for example, to cite specifics of, say, the ascent motif in this literature (

"Thomas Merton's vision of life and faith was broad and all-encompassing. It ranged from the Hebrew prophets to the peace movement, from the Desert Fathers and Mothers to contemporary Buddhism, and from literature to science. And it found expression in diverse forms - in poetry, prose, journals, letters, and photography. This collection of essays by distinguished Merton scholars was compiled in honor of the late Robert E. Daggy, longtime ..."
"The '60s were a time of restlessness, inner turmoil and exuberance for Merton, a time during which he closely followed the careening development of political and social activism -- Martin Luther King Jr., and the March on Selma; the Catholic Worker Movement; the Vietnam War and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Volume 5 chronicles the approach of Merton's fiftieth birthday and marks his move to Mount Olivet, his hermitage at the Ab ..."

"As wide a following as the late Thomas Merton had while he lived, ever since his tragic accidental death in Bangkok in 1968, there has been a steady upsurge of interest in both his life and writings. A priest and Trappist monk by vocation, his theological works have been instrumental in reforming Western monasticism and in carrying on the religious dialog botanist and West; an enormously productive poet, his poems display an astonishing ..."
