In this series of deeply meditative retreat conferences, Christopher Pramuk leads the reader through a sustained meditation on Wisdom-Sophia, the feminine face of God’s presence alive in the world, who speaks and sings in the writings of Thomas Merton. With the sensitivity of a poet and the intellectual acuity of a seasoned teacher and Catholic theologian, Pramuk invites readers to taste and see for themselves the hidden presence of Christ and the dynamism of Love at play in creation; the biblical and mystical tradition from East to West calls this presence Sophia. Looking beyond Merton to seek out her presence in the silent and broken landscapes of our world today, Pramuk shows Sophia above all to be the bearer of hope in an age of unspeakable violence and planetary destruction.

Review
“Christopher Pramuk’s latest work, At Play in Creation, offers a truly stunning introduction to the long-held but often forgotten Wisdom tradition. Priming our theological imaginations with the rich and sensuous language of poetry and with Merton’s poem Hagia Sophia as a guide, Pramuk opens us to the divine music hidden in each of our encounters and allows us to glimpse the unseen Reality whom Merton calls Sophia. She is the breath of God poured out through the world, the one who shines from the faces of those who show courage and compassion in situations that cry for mercy. Pramuk explores her many manifestations within the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures and to people of various faith traditions, inviting us to peer into the liminal spaces of our own lives, the dark places, the places of our poverty where Sophia dwells and from which love springs. Myriad examples evidence the power of her presence and the depth of her love. This is a truly beautiful work, one that encourages deep contemplation of Sophia at work in our every encounter with Earth and with members of the human community, and one that helps us to imagine how to speak of Christ in an age of pluralism.”

In the midst of this absolutely beautiful book of reflections on Wisdom in Thomas Merton, Christopher Pramuk asks, after citing a passage, "Can somebody say Amen?!" Well, I can and am doing so with true delight. Pramuk brings together in his writing the poet and the scholar, the artist and the critic, the monk and prophet Merton was. His study of Wisdom in Merton is outstanding. This collection of reflections is a feast; Wisdom truly has set her table for us in them.

In Christopher Pramuk's marvelous new book, lyrical theology and thoughtfully grounded spirituality merge into one. His "voice" resonates in harmony with Thomas Merton's. As a professor of theology, Pramuk reads Merton well, but then as poet and musician, he sings and plays with Merton's most significant themes in a fresh, new key. . . . Pramuk is now my go-to theologian/poet for a trustworthy rendition of Merton's legacy. I smell a "classic" about to be born before my grateful eyes.
Jonathan Montaldo, Author of Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton
In his hymn to Holy Wisdom, Thomas Merton wrote that all things reveal 'a hidden wholeness,' available to the eyes of contemplation. In his deeply lyrical reflections, Christopher Pramuk brings such an eye to Merton's own work. In the centenary of Merton's birth, this book is a great gift, a bell summoning us to prayer and praise.

The Saving Grace and Hope of the Divine Feminine
By Robert Miller
��Thomas Merton found Sophia–the Love and Mercy of God, ever so gently at play in his encounters with others, as well as all of creation–key in revealing the saving grace of the Divine feminine.
��This for me, is not only a sign of real hope in the daily barrage of violence, atrocities and self-centered political posturing, but a good reason, whether male or female, to give Christopher Pramuk's new book priority on your spiritual reading list.
��This latest remarkable work by Pramuk offers Merton's experience of Sophia and ongoing discovery of his true self, in a concise format. In addition it works beautifully as a primer in offering a fuller understanding of Pramuk's previous book–Sophia: The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton–a work acclaimed by many as a landmark in Merton studies.

This is an absolutely beautiful book.... deeply spiritual. Christopher Pramuk reminds us
how much all of creation is connected. He writes in such a poetic style. I recommend this
book to anyone who wants to look at all of creation in a deeply spiritual way.
Thank you,

A beautiful conversation in feminist theology
By Bobby Nichols
A beautiful conversation in feminist theology. With a balance between narrative and scholarly writing the text is very approachable. I often found myself flipping through the pages with quick ease pausing only to reflect and add margin notes. The only problem with this book is that if you allow someone to borrow it, you'll be forced to purchase another as you'll not see it returning to your possession.
