The Moral Theology of the Devil/ Clothed With The Sun

Seeded from Thomas Merton’s contemplations, this open-ended text invites the reader into participation in the creation of meaning. The apparent certainty of the title, with its reference to The Book of Revelation, is undercut. Individual readings might include a critique of types of political activism or a celebration of quotidian routines and of the natural world. But the fluidity of language is foregrounded, making each new reading a process of discovery.
