Quotation[Jean] Steinmann's book on St. Jerome [St. Jerome and His Times, New York, 1959] in the refectory is interesting and well done but I am sick of Jerome, his querulous sensitivity, his rages, his politics-and I am tired of Steinmann's anti- Origenism. It is too insistent. I am for Rufinus and St. John Chrysostom.
Quotation SourceTurning Toward the World: The Pivotal Years. The Journals of Thomas Merton, Volume 4, 1960-1963.; Edited by Victor A. Kramer. / San Francisco : Harper Collins. 1996, p. 30
