Description: One of Father Thomas Merton's best books, movingly expounding on one of the most beautiful parts of the Bible, the Psalms, presented here as a facsimile reissue of the 1953 classic illustrated book, designed by Alvin Lustig.
Brief description: Thomas Merton (1915-1968) entered the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, following his conversion to Catholicism and was ordained in 1949. During the 1960s, he was increasingly drawn into a dialogue between Eastern and Western religions and was actively engaged with domestic issues of war and racism.
