Piece involving divine persons in good works? (7)
I believe the answer is:
oddment
'piece' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'divine persons in good works?' is the wordplay.
'divine' becomes 'dd' (divine can mean theologian eg Doctor of Divinity).
'persons' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of person).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'good works?' becomes 'OT' (Old Testament).
'dd'+'men'='ddmen'
'ddmen' inserted into 'ot' is 'ODDMENT'.
'involving' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for oddment that I've seen before include "Scrap" , "One of a broken set" , "Curiosity, peculiarity" , "spare part?" , "Leftover piece" .)
