Touch the Wounds

Tomáš Halík explores how suffering, vulnerability, and the wounds of the world relate to Christian faith and the experience of God. Drawing on biblical imagery (notably Thomas touching Christ's wounds), personal stories, and pastoral theology, he argues that God is revealed in brokenness and in accompaniment of the suffering.

The book combines philosophical reflection with pastoral concern, inviting readers to deepen trust amid doubt and pain.

Halík emphasizes the ethical imperative to attend to the wounded as a route to encountering the divine and authentic Christian witness.

His perspective is shaped by lived experience under oppression and ministry to marginalized people, giving the work both intellectual and compassionate depth.
