description: The wounds of Jesus have been the focal point for innumerable devotions throughout the history of Catholic piety, yet there has been very little attempt to read those wounds from a contemporary theological/ philosophical perspective. This book is such an attempt, focusing on the broken and resurrected body of Jesus and on the martyred bodies of the saints.
