Topic: 4. Sacrifice and Eucharist (16th-18th Century)
The redemptive role of Christ’s sacrifice was at the centre of early modern doctrinal controversies. During this time, the debate revolved around the sacramental role of the sacrifice in the eucharist and the Mass. This section contains numerous early modern printed sources and images, as well as the related bibliography on the theme (19th-21st Century).
