Description: "Poet Daniel Berrigan and iconographer William Hart McNichols combine their distinctive gifts to convey the diverse faces of the church. They include martyrs, prisoners of conscience, theologians, mystics, men and women - the litany as diverse as the people of God, as rich and varied as the many paths of discipleship and piety."--Jacket.
