Summary Join Jung Eun Sophia Park on her personal quest for God and her true self through the writings of Thomas Merton. Approaching Merton as an Asian immigrant feminist in the postcolonial era, Park's perspective is a unique one, and in this dance sometimes it is her and sometimes Merton who leads. Throughout, Eastern and Western spirituality are organically woven together in reflection on Merton's narratives and in the examination of late capitalism, poverty, beauty, and violence. These reflections are insightful, provocative, and illuminating, particularly with regard to his androcentric spirituality, especially as it relates to his relationships with women. Jung Eun Sophia Park is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Holy Names University, USA. She is the author of Conversations at the Well: Emerging Religious Life in the 21st Century in the Global World (2018) and editor of Interreligous Pedagogy: Reflections and Application in Honor of Judith Berling (2018). Jung Eun Sophia Park is a member of of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary.
