The Gospels, Bishop Martin Drennan believes, introduce us to features of the face of God, each in its own special way. They draw us to engage with this living God and allow ourselves to be transformed by him. His word has the capacity to direct and redirect our lives, making us the best we can be. Turning Wounds into Wisdom provides a reflection on the Gospel for every Sunday of the three-year lectionary ? reflections shaped by deep knowledge of Scripture, by wide reading in literature, and by sympathetic appreciation of everyday dilemmas. The reflections in Turning Wounds into Wisdom arise from the conviction that preaching needs to offer a word that is truthful and encouraging and supporting. @ Martin Drennan taught Scripture in Kilkenny, Rome and Maynooth from 1973 to 1997, the year he was appointed an auxiliary bishop in the archdiocese of Dublin.
