For some weeks I tried, and failed, to conceive a half-credible response to Manseau's empathetic logic that would vindicate, if not the unfortunate revisionism of the pope, then theologians like Jon Sobrino and contemplatives like Thomas Merton, who do not hesitate to identify Christ crucified with the crucified peoples of history, not least the Jews.
I propose to argue that Merton can and should be taught as other American contemplatives are taught; that he can and should be considered as one of the best writers to come out of the post-war Beat Generation; and that he can and should be understood as one of the most provocative voices of the Cold-War period and the 1960s.
Oswin Hollenbeck is the prior (resident monk) at the Eugene Buddhist Priory, a temple of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives.
