{"product_id":"9780268017279","title":"A Search for Wisdom and Spirit : Thomas Merton's Theology of the Self","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough not a systematic theologian, Thomas Merton spent a lifetime writing in an immensely appealing way about the monastic tradition and mystical theology. One of the fundamental questions he examined was that of the self; for Merton the recovery of the true self is the \"liberation of the image of God\" in us. This study explores that process in the context of a few of Merton's works, showing his own development from \"pious hostility\" to the world to a more humbling acceptance of humanity. The first full-length appraisal of Merton as theologian, this is well written but contains a few too many abstract phrasessomething Merton in his best work eschewed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45371735703631,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780268017279-1.jpg?v=1784959897","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780268017279","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
