The Merton Annual

The Merton Annual began in 1998 as a vehicle for publishing extended monographs related to Thomas Merton, including his contributions to letters; his monastic, ecumenical, and social concerns; and his importance as a writer, artist, and monk. The scholarly essays presented in this latest volume reveal Merton's developing global concerns and his disappointment with the destructive forces of certain cultures. An excerpt from his previously unpublished manuscript "Peace and the Post Christian Era" is also included.
