Isaiah lived in a time astonishingly like ours -- a time of immense violence, social upheaval, and gross neglect of the poor. In the great prophetic tradition, he intervened directly in political and diplomatic events. Like our age, his was one of whetted swords and rusted plowshares. Then the oracle came to him: Swords into plowshares Simultaneously social biography and biblical commentary, Berrigan's newest book is a tour de force that brims with conviction. A must-read for anyone seeking to apply biblical truths to contemporary life; for anyone who wonders, What does Isaiah have to say to us?Dorothee Soelle author, Theology for SkepticsWritten in a splendid immediacy of style and spirit, Berrigan's book bridges the gap between the then and now.Richard John Neuhaus, First ThingsA gifted poet's compelling invitation to rethink the nature of prophetic witness, then and now.Howard Zinn, authorA People's History of the United StatesWhat you learn from this astonishing book is that behind secular acts of civil disobedience...there was always a profound theology of peace and resistance to evil...There is poetry and prophecy here to inspire us all.
