Fr. Dan teaches systematic theology and spirituality at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, writes a column for National Catholic Reporter, and is the author of twelve books including the award-winningThe Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton: A New Look at the Spiritual Influence on His Life, Thought, and Writing (2014).

St. Francis and Franciscan scholars Scotus and Bonaventure inspired Merton, shaping his notions of “thetrue self”: “The measure of our identity, of our being (the two arethe same) is the amount of our love for God.”
