A Monastic Introduction to Sacred Scripture

This volume presents a unique collection of conferences by Thomas Merton, aimed at young monks, focusing on the significance of biblical studies for spiritual growth. Merton emphasizes the transformative power of Scripture, encouraging a holistic engagement that transcends intellectual understanding. His reflections span from his early days as a student monk to insights shaped by the Second Vatican Council, highlighting the Scriptures as a source of liberation and challenge. Central to Merton's teaching is the belief that the Holy Spirit guides readers to connect their lives with the profound mysteries of the Gospel.
