Nesta obra Thomas Merton nos presenteia com uma análise clara e objetiva sobre a Constituição Pastoral Gaudium et Spes, do Concílio Vaticano II, que trata sobre a Igreja no mundo de hoje. Publicado originalmente no mesmo ano da Constituição, e no Brasil em 1970 pela Editora Vozes, "A Igreja e o Mundo sem Deus" mostra, baseado nas reflexões do autor, como o cristianismo passou a uma nova fase em seu relacionamento com o mundo e o homem moderno, e com as implicações práticas que isso acarretou.
