The Berrigan Letters: Personal Correspondence Between Daniel and Philip Berrigan
A treasure for those devoted to the causes of peacemaking and social justice, this collection offers insights into the activism of the Berrigans and reveals moving glimpses of their intense devotion to each other and their unbending faith in the face of great adversity. Spanning seven decades, the book includes excerpts of letters between the brothers famed for their social activism, civil disobedience, peacemaking efforts, and sharp critiques of American foreign policy. While many letters address the issues of war and peace, they also touch on other social issues, such as abortion, capital punishment, and politics, as well as ecclesial issues and family and personal relationships, including letters sent in the last weeks and months of Philip Berrigan's life.
