Trade Review
“Patrick O’Connell’s meticulous editing of these conferences is a great gift. They reveal to us Cistercian origins and developments but even more, we hear them in Merton’s voice.”
The Merton Journal
"This volume, along with the other eight in the series, certainly belongs in any monastic library. Merton aficionados will most definitely want to read, study and enjoy the book along with the others in the series.”
American Benedictine Review
“General readers and Merton scholars owe Professor O’Connell an immense debt of gratitude for his always exacting and judicious editing of Merton conferences. O’Connell has almost single-handedly made available this Merton material, his more ‘scholarly’ talks and lectures that would otherwise be inaccessible to most of us.”
