Thomas Merton: Contemplative Critic

This edition is out of print. It was re-issued with revisions as Encounters with Merton: Spiritual Reflections by The Crossroad Publishing Company in 2004.

In this introduction to the life and thought of Thomas Merton, Nouwen explains: "I met him only once at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. Yet thereafter, his person and work had such an impact on me that his sudden death stirred me as if it were the death of one of my closest friends. It therefore seems natural for me to write for others about the man who has inspired me most in recent years."
