Excerpts

As a hermit monk, it would have been likely that Thomas Merton would have lived and died relatively unknown. Because of his incredible talent for writing, though, his ideas reached huge audiences across the United States and the rest of the world, making him one of the best-known Christian theologians of the twentieth century.
