Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Catholic Media Association Award for Biography \*Advance Praise & Reviews\* 'Oyer's warm, compassionate voice and skill as historian locates these letters inside our own urgent social questions with a subtle buoyancy.'--Rose Marie Berger, Senior Editor, Sojourners magazine 'The real hope, then, is not in something we thing we can do, but in God who is making something good out of in some way we cannot see. If we can do His will we will be helping in this process. But we will not necessarily know all about it beforehand.' -Thomas Merton to Jim Forest In entering the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemane in 1941, Thomas Merton initially saw himself as withdrawing from 'the world.' But in later years his sense of monastic vocation changed. His contemplative life became a point of prophetic engagement with his fellow men and women in their struggles, their hopes, and their questions. This social engagement was particularly fueled by his wide correspondence. Signs of Hope focuses on Merton's engagement with the themes of peace, race, and ecology, as expressed through particular relationships, including with such notable figures as Dorothy Day, Daniel Berrigan, and Vincent Harding. Each chapter reveals themes from his life of dialogue, his apostolate of friendship, and his probing assessment of critical issues that remain vital for our time.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the fall of 1964, Trappist monk Thomas Merton prepared to host an unprecedented gathering of peace activists. ''About all we have is a great need for roots,'' he observed, ''but to know this is already something.'' His remark anticipated their agenda--a search for spiritual roots to nurture sound motives for ''protest.'' This event's originality lay in the varied religious commitments present. Convened in an era of well-kept faith boundaries, members of Catholic (lay and clergy), mainline Protestant, historic peace church, and Unitarian traditions participated. Ages also varied, ranging from twenty-three to seventy-nine. Several among the fourteen who gathered are well known today among faith-based peace advocates: the Berrigan brothers, Jim Forest, Tom Cornell, John Howard Yoder, A. J. Muste, and Merton himself. During their three days together, insights and wisdom from these traditions would intersect and nourish each other. By the time they parted, their effort had set down solid roots and modeled interreligious collaboration for peace work that would blossom in coming decades. Here for the first time, the details of those vital discussions have been reconstructed and made accessible to again inspire and challenge followers of Christ to confront the powers and injustices of today.…
