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 oftpraised characters. He shows that this dark time in biblical history is in many ways repeating itself today. The wars of these kings, Berrigan says, are our wars now, and we are fashioning our own gods to approve our misdeeds. These two books of Scripture come to vivid and sometimes terrifying life when we recognize these undeniable similarities.The Kings and Their Gods reveals Berrigan in stunning form. Here this modernday prophet distills the wisdom gained from his long learning and his remarkable life experiences. The book is both a masterful biblical commentary and a clarion call to action. It balances polemics and poetry, despair and joy. It is truly a midrash for our troubled times both an indictment of the horror that is and an invitation to the great goodness that may be.
