Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk and best selling author of such beloved works as The Seven Storey Mountain and New Seeds of Contemplation.  One of the 20th century's great mystics, Merton was also a masterful teacher who delivered powerful conferences to the novice monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani.  In these conferences, Merton's thinking moved from cloistered monastic life to issues of social justice and interreligious understanding.  A spiritual sage and guide for countless men and women, Merton struggled with complex questions about God's existence, moral values and the role of organized religion.
