Bringing Merton's mystical-prophetic imaginative and prescient totally into discussion with modern Christology, Russian sophiology, and Zen, in addition to figures equivalent to John Henry Newman and Abraham Joshua Heschel, the writer rigorously yet boldly builds the case that Sophia, an identical theological eros that lively Merton's non secular mind's eye in a interval of great fragmentation and violence, may perhaps infuse new power into our own.
A research of unusual intensity and scope, encouraged all through through Merton's impressive catholicity.
