Through an exploration of spiritual identity, The New Man showcases Thomas Merton's theological philosphies at their most insightful. Merton asks: What must we do to recover possession of our true character? By way of an answer, he discusses how we have become strangers to ourselves through our dependence on outward identity and success, all the while overlooking our real need: a concern with the image of god within ourselves. At a time when the secular world is increasingly suffused with spiritual sentiment, Thomas remains required reading for the pursuit of personal enlightenment.
