Lauren G. Kilroy-Ewbank considers paintings, prints, devotional texts, and archival sources within the Mexican context alongside issues and debates occurring in Europe to situate the New Spanish cult within local and global developments. She examines the iconography of these religious images and frames them within broader socio-political and religious discourses related to the Eucharist, the sun, the Jesuits, scientific and anatomical ideas, and mysticism. Images of the Heart helped to champion the cult’s validity as it was attacked by religious reformers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Figures and Tables  List of Abbreviations    Introduction    1 Shaping the Devotion    2 Matters of the Heart    3 Reading, Meditating, Fixating    4 The Eucharistic Heart    5 Christ’s Heart as the Sacramented Sun    6 Divine Champions    7 Politicizing the Heart after 1767    Conclusion: Forming a New History of the Sacred Heart    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210762674519,"sku":"9789004384644","price":139.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/holy-organ-or-unholy-idol-the-sacred-heart-in-the-art-religion-and-politics-of-new-spain-9789004384644","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
