During the Vietnam War, Berrigan, poet and priest, poured napalm on draft files, landed in federal prison, and galvanized a protest movement that eventually turned the tide against the war. Thirty years later he is still at it, inspiring a new generation of questioners and seekers in classrooms, and at conferences and retreats In Daniel, Berrigan reflects on his namesake and role model, the ancient seer of Hebrew fame. But this is no pious Sunday school drivel. Continuing the series he began with Isaiah and Ezekiel, Berrigan fuses social critique, Jewish midrash, and political commentary to bring us a book stylistic distinction and spiritual depth. Daniel reveals the deep biblical moorings beneath Berrigan's fabled activism, and demonstrates why he has become a trusted mentor for three generations of pacifists and resisters. A bold and unorthodox application of the Old Testament to current political and social discourse, Daniel is not simply a book about a bygone prophet, but a powerful charge to all people of conscience. - from Amzon
