Thomas Merton’s writing as seen by Richard Rohr

Thomas Merton is regarded as one of the great spiritual writers of the 20th century. When interviewing Richard Rohr, one of great spiritual writers of the 20th & 21st centuries, I had to ask his thoughts on Merton as a writer. He is predictably modest about his own writing but offers keen insight into what makes Merton a giant. More of Rohr’s thoughts can be found in The Many Storeys and Last Days of Thomas Merton
