Beneath the mask of holiness: Thomas Merton and the forbidden love affair that set him free
Shaw, Mark
Thomas Merton is perhaps the most popular American religion writer of the last hundred years. While many are familiar with Merton and his writing, here forthe first time is a private side of the famous monk. Based on journal entries, new information and sources such as fellow monks, Shaw offers a fresh perspective on the revered figure.
