"To Be Who We Really Are": Thomas Merton's Appeal to Today's Students.

Herron, Fred

Momentum, v31 n1 p42-43 Feb-Mar 2000

Finds that the life and writings of Thomas Merton can be quite appealing to high school and college students because he embodies and articulates the dynamic activity of God's call in his life. Merton gives voice to students' struggles to find meaning and to their difficulties in expressing their experiences of grace in their lives. (VWC)
