    <![CDATA[Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was a Roman Catholic priest, a Trappist monk, a social activist, and a poet. But he is undoubtedly best known as the most important American religious writer of the past hundred years. One of the notable characteristics of Merton's writing, both in poetry and in prose, was his seamless intermingling of religious and Romantic elements, an intermingling that, because of his gifts as a writer and because of his enormous influence, has had the effect of making widespread a distinctive form of religious thought and expression. In Thomas Merton and the Inclusive Imagination, Ross Labrie reveals the breadth of Merton's intellectual reach by taking an original and systematic look at Merton's thought, which is generally regarded as eclectic and unsystematic. What captured Merton's attention about Romanticism and mysticism and what held his attention virtually all his life was his consciousness of the ontological significance of unity and wholeness. Even though he was far from being a systematic thinker, Merton's writings form a coherent whole when considered from the point of view of his emphasis on unity and wholeness.  Labrie skillfully examines Merton's letters, journals, and individual works to show the full expanse of his contribution. By using insights from the Romantic literary tradition and from the mystical tradition, the author is able to make sense of Merton's writings from all periods of his life. Although Labrie covers such sweeping topics as consciousness, self, being, nature, time, myth, culture, and individuation, he always remains focused on Merton's specific, unique contributions in each area. This thought-provoking work, which includes new material from the recent full publication of Merton's journals and from his Columbia University notebooks on Romanticism, not only shows Merton's intellectual growth but provides a look at his expanse of interests as well. Thomas Merton and the Inclusive Imagination will make a significant contribution to Merton studies.]]>

    <![CDATA[In addition to a full life of social activism Daniel Berrigan has produced an impressive literary corpus amounting to over thirty volumes. Berrigan's life as a writer, a priest and an activist is examined chronologically, beginning with the early years of his life as a priest and theologian, followed by the tumultuous period of the Vietnam War, and finally by Berrigan's defiant challenging of the pronouncements of both church and state regarding the morality of war in general and the deployment of nuclear armaments in particular.]]>
