Conjectures of a guilty bystander

Book • 1966
In this book, Thomas Merton examines some of the most pressing issues of his era with his characteristic candor and forcefulness.

The work includes his thoughts on the 'death of God,' politics, modern life and values, and racial strife.

Merton's reflections are as relevant today as they were when the book was written, offering insights into his contemplative and socially engaged perspective.

The book is a testament to Merton's role as a social critic, mystic, and advocate for nonviolent civil rights movements.
