Confronting the fundamental nature of America's military-focused culture, Berrigan took an unyielding stance against societal evils—war, systemic racism, unchecked materialism, and the baleful presence of nuclear weapons. Imprisoned by his government and ostracized by his Church, Berrigan's life is a courageous example of nonviolent resistance and liberation in the face of overwhelming odds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Ministry of Risk \u003c\/i\u003eis the definitive collection of Philip Berrigan's writings. Authorized by the Berrigan family and arranged chronologically, these writings depict the transformation of one revolutionary soul while also providing a firsthand account of a nation grappling with its martial obsessions.\u003cbr\u003e Threading the vibrant fabric of history with autobiographical insights, introspective theology, and a clarion call to activism, \u003ci\u003eA Ministry of Risk
