Peace in the Post-Christian Era

Peace in the Post-Christian Era

by ThomasMERTON (Author)

Synopsis

Writing at the height of the Cold War, Merton issued this passionate challenge to the idea that unthinkable violence can be squared with the Gospel of Christ. Censors of Merton's order blocked publication of this work, but forty years later if you substitute 'war on terrorism' for 'war on communism' Merton's message remains eerily topical.

Media Reviews
Merton's book is as relevant and timely today as when he wrote it...Substitute 'war on terrorism' for 'war on communism, ' and his insights continue to challenge our culture of war and ourselves to become Gospel people of peace and nonviolence.
