Ebook: Der Gnadenstuhl als interkonfessionelles Zentralthema: Zum "propitiatorium" in den Konfessionen und Medien der Frühen Neuzeit

The term "mercy seat," coined by Martin Luther, designates the lid of the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant, which Paulus typologically interprets as Jesus Christ in Romans 3:25. This volume examines the multimedial interpretative history of the motif of the mercy seat, which was extremely prominent in the early modern period, and examines to which extent this central topic developed in a process of interconfessional exchange.
