Book Description “Dan Berrigan’s Testimony pushes us to the great work at hand. It is a word we all need to hear.” —John Dear
Daniel Berrigan—priest, poet, peacemaker—has spent a lifetime offering testimony to the truth of gospel nonviolence. In word and deed, whether in courts, jail cells, classrooms, or chapels, he has proclaimed the Word of God: “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
That testimony rings loud and clear in this collection of recent writings on peace, faith, and the imperative of hope (“that Intransitive Being”). From courtroom testimony, to homilies, poems, and poignant profiles of such friends as Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, and his late brother Philip, these writings reflect the essential spirit of a modern prophet and “witness to the resurrection.”
Daniel Berrigan is a Jesuit priest who lives in New York City. His Orbis books include The Bride; Ezekiel; Uncommon Prayer; and (with Thich Nhat Hanh) The Raft Is Not the Shore.
