This was not published during Merton's life as a book in English, only in French and Portuguese. It was expanded from a three-installment article published in «Collectanea Ordinis Cistciensium Reformatorum» in 1953 (with an additional offprint). A French edition was published in book form in 1956, «Marthe, Marie et Lazare». The English text became the first section of «Thomas Merton on St. Bernard» (Cistercian Publications: Kalamazoo, Michigan) in 1980. See Section C.2, "Martha, Mary and Lazarus" for first drafts of some of the articles.
