Recenzii
[Schroth] has produced a nuanced, engaging portrait of a man who worked prodigiously at bettering the world but who also had personal and political flaws. America MagazineSchroth knows Jesuit life well and skillfully connects Drinan's career as law professor, dean, politician, and public intellectual to his Jesuit formation. Commonweal. . . This intriguing portrait in courage provides an intimate glimpse into the heart and soul of a deeply textured spiritual and political groundbreaker. Booklist A Jesuit priest elected to Congress as a radical anti-war Democrat: a figure hard to imagine today. But Father Drinan is brought to blazing life in Raymond Schroths biography, as is the whole era of the fight against the Vietnam War. One can imagine Richard Nixon saying, like Henry II, Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest? Anthony Lewis, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist
Notă biografică
Raymond A. Schroth, S.J., is editor of Conversations, the magazine for American Jesuit colleges and universities. His own path crossed with Drinan's at several junctures, making his an ideal voice for investigating both the circumstances that made Drinan an important figure in American politics and his role as Jesuit priest within the Catholic Church. Schroth, previously Professor of Humanities at St. Peter's College, has been affiliated with five Jesuit colleges and universities; is the author of eight other books, including Fordham: A History and Memoir, Revised Edition (Fordham); and has been an editor and columnist for America, Commonweal, and The National Catholic Reporter.
