Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander - Thomas Merton - A Short Summary & Review

 

A short summary of Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander:

Merton's musings about current events.

My favorite Thomas Merton quote from the book:

"We believe, not because we want to know, but because we want to be."

Questions to ponder while reading Thomas Merton:

Do you think compassion is a weakness?

Do you question your beliefs?

My review of Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander:

A great, philosophical look at the modern world.

Lots and lots of wisdom.

Still very relevant in today's world.
