Peace in the post-Christian era

Publisher description: "Substitute "war on terrorism" for "war on communism" and Merton's insights continue to challenge our culture of war and ourselves to become Gospel people of peace and nonviolence. This book stands at the heart of the Merton canon ... Read it and take up where Merton left off-questioning the culture, denouncing war and nuclear weapons, taking risks for the truth, pointing the way to peace, and discovering anew how to be Christian in these post-Christian times." John Dear, author, Living Peace. Writing at the height of the Cold War, Merton issued a passionate cry for sanity and a challenge to the idea that unthinkable violence can be squared with the Gospel of Christ. Censors of Merton's order blocked publication of this work, but forty years later, despite changing circumstances, his prophetic message remains eerily topical. At a time when the "war on terrorism" has replaced the struggle against communism, Merton's work continues to demonstrate the power and relevance of the Gospel in answering the most urgent challenges of our time.

  • "La lucida analisi di Merton su pace, guerra e vangelo esce dopo oltre 40 anni di ostracismo, ma rimane di drammatica attualità. Molte cose sono nel frattempo cambiate, soprattutto nell'identificazione del nemico, ma non è mutata la tentazione di far prevalere logiche di guerra e di morte. E ancora oggi, la ricerca della "pace sulla terra" passa anche attraverso la testimonianza dei cristiani perché "una parte essenziale della buona novella è che le misure nonviolente sono più forti delle armi: con armi spirituali, la chiesa primitiva ha conquistato l'intero mondo romano". Oggi, come quarant'anni fa, "abbiamo ancora tempo per fare qualcosa in vista dell'abolizione della guerra, ma il tempo si sta rapidamente esaurendo""
