               The Prophetic Voice--Merton, Heschel, and Vatican II

               Dr. Edward K. Kaplan, presenter

                    Edward K. Kaplan is Kaiserman Professor of the Humanities at Brandeis

                    University and chair of the Religious Studies program there.  He has published 

                    many essays on Thomas Merton and his Jewish interests, including

                    "Incarcerated Prophets" in the Merton Seasonal.  His books on Abraham

                    Joshua Heschel include Holiness in Words and the recent Spiritual Radical.

                           In 2002 Dr. Kaplan organized the international conference "Merton and

                    Judaism," held in Louisville, Kentucky.  Thomas Merton had important   

                   correspondence with Jewish writers and teachers.  His efforts, with those of

                   Rabbi Heschel, helped form the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate in its

                   chapter on relations with the Jews.
