Thomas Merton played a critical role in facilitating and embodying
a revolutionary paradigm shift in Catholic life and thought. His
public grappling with the issues raised by this shift in the life
of the Catholic Church provided a vocabulary with which a
generation of seekers has attempted to frame an on-going discussion
regarding the future of the Catholic Church. Consequently Merton's
life and thought continue to be guideposts for spiritual pilgrims
confronting issues of authority in the church, a changing moral
landscape and the contemporary crisis in the Catholic Church. Part
One of the book describes this profound paradigm shift and locates
Merton's developing thought within that landscape. It places
Merton's thought within the larger framework of the Catholic
imagination as described by David Tracy, Andrew Greeley, and Thomas
Groome. The landmark research of Robert Wuthnow of Princeton
University concerning the nature of contemporary spiritual-seeking,
provides a framework that helps to identify Merton's continuing
relevance for the study of spirituality. Parts Two and Three
discuss Merton's lasting importance for contemporary spirituality.
