An article on Friendship House has been added to Wikipedia -- Friendship House gained a lot of fame through Merton's writing about it in this book... but I'm not sure how to fit it in well with the text of the article, so I've just added it as a link under "See Also" for now. - Mecandes 16:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed cleanup tag

I can't see anything that particularly needs cleaning up. It's got room for expansion, but that's not a bad thing.. Pastafarian Nights 02:35, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Judeo-Christian = Catholic, apparently

The assertion that the book "spread the notion of the Judeo-Christian tradition" is absurd and an assault on Merton's obvious intentions. 74.140.199.156 (talk) 05:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Conspiracy thinking seeping in

These references to alternative explanations of Merton's death look like unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. If there are not more definitive sources and credible support for them, they should be removed. To include them in the final paragraph detracts from the overall entry, and Wikipedia's reputation for self-correction:

QUOTE "It was reported he was accidentally electrocuted by a fan, but commentators posited he was assassinated by the CIA for his anti-war rhetoric. Various writers have noted the irony of his life's tragic conclusion, given that The Seven Storey Mountain closes by admonishing the reader to "learn to know the Christ of the burnt men" (see, e.g., The Man in the Sycamore Tree, 1979)." 2603:800C:3F00:22B4:78E3:19C7:692B:CAF5 (talk) 17:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
