Über dieses E-Book
Explore the intersection of faith, politics, and social justice through the eyes of a prophetic twentieth-century spiritual leader.
Thomas Merton (1915-1968), a Trappist monk and one of the foremost spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, had a profound impact on the world through his writing despite living a mostly solitary existence. An outspoken advocate for the antiwar and civil rights movements, Merton was both praised as a visionary and criticized for his social commentary. He uniquely embraced Eastern mysticism, seeing it as complementary to Western sacred traditions. In Seeds of Destruction, Merton delves into the complex interplay between morality, politics, and faith, offering insights that remain relevant to the challenges of our time. This thought-provoking work showcases Merton's dedication to fostering understanding and promoting social justice in an increasingly secular world. With his characteristic wisdom and engaging style, Merton invites readers to examine the deeper questions of belief, spirituality, and the role of religion in shaping society.
