Reviews
"""This book gets at what makes Don Shriver a remarkable figure for all who know him. Shriver led when few others would, understood social realities and the ethical demands of being a Christian, and placed his mind at the service of the church and theological education at several difficult moments. Readers who know Shriver will still discover new aspects about the man. All readers will encounter a person to admire."" --James Hudnut-Beumler, Anne Potter Wilson Distinguished Professor of American Religious History, Vanderbilt Divinity School ""The genius of this book is that it honors Don Shriver while honoring Union Theological Seminary. The man is extraordinary, and the institution is unique: 'there simply is no place like it.' Here that powerful combination comes alive. Shriver's concerns for the church, for his country, and for the world are never in competition with each other, all captured by the overriding concern for justice. And the place he served is living testimony. A wonderful book."" --Allan Boesak, South African Black liberation theologian and global human rights activist"
