This book considers two of the most potent Christian concepts -
Hell and the Eucharist. In the first part of the book, the author
argues that fear of Hell was a common preoccupation in the 16th and
17th centuries. Drawing on the sermons of the preachers of the
Counter-Reformation, he shows how the image of Hell developed into
a grotesque parody of divine judgement which was only arrested by
the onset of the Enlightenment. The second part considers the
Eucharist, or Host, the embodiment of corporeal salvation. The
author describes how it was related to the human body, and the
kinds of mystical properties with which it was invested.
