“Thomas Merton’s oeuvre also resounds with references to “the stranger.” From his exclamation of discovery on the streets of Louisville that “there are no strangers,”10 to the recognition of his own perceived separateness in Day of a Stranger, 11 Merton taps into the mystical irony of this noun in all its variant manifestations and finds that in a world where humanity dwells in dynamic tension between alienation and communion, the only way to true integration is to acknowledge with compassion the stranger without and the one within. From numerous angles, the articles in this volume of The Merton Annual unfold multiple illustrations of that prophetic wisdom.” Click here to read the full introduction by Deborah Pope Kehoe.
The Merton Annual publishes articles about Thomas Merton and about related matters of major concern to his life and work.
