Uncommon Prayer: A Book of Psalms
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-15 Summary: the passion of berrigan ... To begin with, a caveat: do not be deceived by the seeming brevity of this slender volume. More than the days we are alotted here will be needed to digest it all. The book is indisputably a masterpiece, the poetic art at its most vital, most piercing, most agonized, most revelatory. We know Berrigan as an activist, a teacher of political philosophy, a devout follower of Christ, and a leader, because without reservation he walks his talk. Thus, he is among the first to bear witness to the too often awful truth of our ...more

Here lies a friend so very good to us as to open for us the divine mystery of these eternal heart and soul songs, the psalms selected in this priceless book, releasing unto us who are its meditators comfort, lamentation, consolation, gratitude, worship, declamation, and prophecy for our time of unjust and profitable war. ...more

Jeremiah
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-18 Summary: Inspiration, not commentary ... Daniel Berrigan's Jeremiah is not so much a commentary as a fiery meditation. The Jesuit priest and prominent social activist know the biblical scholarship but often dismisses it as missing the point. He interprets the prophet's poetry through poetry. He interprets prose as both story and parable. Thus, although the book is arranged to follow the biblical text, Berrigan's writing adopts a free-flowing associative style. He flies out on excursions wherever the Spirit leads. His ultimate interest is not scholarly but ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-12-06 Summary: Prophecy necessary to our times by a great American prophet and Roman Catholic Priest ... All Americans may profit from this Biblical commentary should they find the long lost ability to read with their eyes open. Jeremiah calls anguished and striken directly to our age and our place. Father Berrigan opens our deadened ears to his warning and recollection to the God of Love, Peace, Justice and Truth, all forgotten and disdained in our darkened day. We may profitably read the Prophet Jeremiah in the excellent Anchor Bible volume Jeremiah (Anchor Bible Series, Vol. 21) and the series beginning with Jeremiah ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-11-16 Summary: Really Good ... I dont know what the above guy is talking about; the 70s and bongo drums? This is a great book for anyone who sees suffering and unecessary loss of life as paramount in their moral outlook. I have found Berrigan to be one of the best social thinkers of our time. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Daniel Berrigan's fiery appreciation of the prophet Jeremiah is "spiritual reading" of the searing sort, for persons and groups to feel anew the biblical flame of social justice, religious courage, and personal witness. Perhaps no Hebrew prophet speaks so directly to our time as Jeremiah. Perhaps no contemporary can unveil his message and warning as can Daniel Berrigan, whose eloquence and courage, like Jeremiah's, expose the corruption of religious commitment, address national trauma...more
The Kings and Their Gods: The Pathology of Power
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780802860439; Condition: USED - VERY GOOD; Notes: ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-03 Summary: Great Commentary on a Contemporary Subject ... The Kings and Their Gods is Daniel Berrigan's poetic commentary on the First and Second Book of Kings. Berrigan diagrams each chapter, though not verse by verse. It is more like getting an overview of the stories that you are told during Sunday school, only with a different perspective and an edge that could rub some people the wrong way. Berrigan confronts the characters in Kings that are usually the subject of glory and hero worship. He does not see David as a man after God's own heart. He views David as a warmonger ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-27 Summary: Let's hear it for what is never read! ... Daniel Berrigan's "The Kings and Their Gods" is a wonderfully prophetic and poetic piece that deserves a spot among the other commentaries on one's biblical bookshelf. Berrigan's ability to connect the dots over the span of almost three thousand years is truly phenomenal. But what I appreciate most was his adroit handling of two incidents which are not contained in the lectionary and so are never read before the congregation as part of our regular liturgical discipline: the story of Micaiah (1 Kings 22:8ff) during ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-10 Summary: ancient texts, modern contexts ... In her memoir Things Seen and Unseen, Nora Gallagher recalls meeting Daniel Berrigan (b. 1921) in the spring of 1986. When she asked how many times he had been jailed, he responded, "Not enough." Poet, playwright, peace activist, and Jesuit priest, Daniel Berrigan has spent a long life obeying the good news of Jesus rather than the bad news of caesar. He and his brother Philip did time on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. In 1968 he and eight other activists stole 378 draft files of young men who were about to be sent ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The scenario that confronts us in the biblical text of 1 and 2 Kings is a turbulent one. Daniel Berrigan minces no words in his assessment of that biblical era. Prophets, kings, and the gods they worship -- all are found wanting. Berrigan examines the complex terrain of these two biblical books, opening our eyes to the deep flaws of their oft-praised characters. He shows that this dark time in biblical history is in many ways repeating itself today. The wars of these kings, Berrigan says,...more
