This book offers a rich and engaging exploration of one of the twentieth century's most influential spiritual thinkers. Drawing on decades of scholarship, Patrick F. O'Connell provides a clear and compelling synthesis of Thomas Merton's writings, uncovering a vision that bridges contemplation and action, tradition and modern life, and the sacred and the secular. Central to this vision is Merton's idea of "final integration", an inner unity grounded in divine love that extends outward to embrace all people and the whole of creation.
Drawing on both well-known and relatively little-studied sources, this book explores key themes and motifs that exemplify Merton's commitment, never fully realized yet never relinquished, to what he called "final integration," an inner unity grounded in the experience of divine love that extends to embrace the entire human community and all creation.
