The best-known Cistercian of the twentieth century reflects on the teaching and life of the most reknown Cistercian of the twelfth century. Three essays written in the 1950s explore the relation of contemplation and action in the monastic vocation and in the life of Christians.

Zuercher outlines and describes the themes and dynamics of the "4" space in the enneagram scheme. She then demonstrates how they are consistent not only with Thomas Merton's actions but also his articulation of his spritual journey.

In addition to critical essays that explore the harvest of new insights provoked by Merton’s encounters with the ancient sages, Merton & the Tao presents the complete and carefully annotated correspondence between Thomas Merton and John C. H. Wu. This study of world religions through the lens of Thomas Merton’s inclusive religious interests presents his timeless vision of all persons united in a hidden ground of love.

"This one door is the door of the Palace of Nowhere. It is the door of God. It is our very self, our true self called by God to perfect union with himself. And it is through this door we secretly enter in responding to the saving call to 'Come with me to the Palace of Nowhere where all the many things are one.'"As a young man of eighteen, James Finley left home for an unlikely destination: the Abbey of Gethsemani, where Thomas Merton lived as a contemplative. Finley stayed at the monastery for six maturing years and later wrote this book in order to share with his readers a taste of what he had learned on his spiritual journey under the guidance of one of the great religious figures of our day. At the heart of the quest for spiritual identity are Thomas Merton's illuminating insights--leading from an awareness of the false and illusory self to a realization of the true self.For over twenty-five years Merton's Palace of Nowhere has been the standard for exploring, reflecting on, and understanding this rich vein of Merton's thought. Dog-eared, tattered, underlined copies are found on the bookshelves of spiritual searchers everywhere. Now this Silver Anniversary edition brings this classic to a whole new generation, with a new foreword by Br. Patrick Hart.

The oldest of all Oxford and Cambridge colleges, Merton College enjoys a distinguished past that reflects many of the most significant moments in British history, including the Black Death and the Civil War. These and other crucial events are explored with wit and insight in White's chronicle of the college, first published in 1906. A biblical scholar, White was made a fellow and lecturer in theology at Merton in 1895, where he stayed until his promotion to Dean of Christ Church in 1905. Even after his departure, he remained intrigued by the history and customs of his old college and was eager to share his knowledge outside the academic community. Worldly as well as scholarly, White always intended his volume to be accessible to a wide audience, describing it in his preface as a 'popular handbook' rather than a scholarly tome; a function it continues to fulfil today.

Bob Imperato teaches religious studies at Saint Leo University, where he is coordinator of the Religious Studies Department. Bob studied psychology at Columbia University (MA, 1969), where he began searching for God. While in New York, he was inspired by Swami Satchidananda to practice yoga. Meditation led Bob back to his childhood religion, Catholicism, and inspired him to spend a decade in a Trappist Cistercian monastery at the Abbey of Gethsemani. He desired to communicate about God, and he chose to complete both an MA and PhD in Theology at Fordham University in order to dedicate himself to teaching religion on the college level. He has taught in New Jersey, Kansas, California, and Florida, and frequently lectures in parish and diocesan programs. He has published a number of articles on spirituality and hopes to continue writing and teaching.
