eter Lombard is best known as the author ofl Sentences, which for several centuries served in the Christian West. It was the subject of more commentaries than any other work of Christian literature besides the Bible itself. The Book of Sentences is essentially a compilation of older sources, from the Scriptures and Augustine down to several of the Lombard's contemporaries, such as Hugh of Saint Victor and Peter Abelard. Its importance lies in the Lombard's organization of the theological material, his method of presentation, and the way in which he shaped doctrine in several major areas.
Despite his importance, however, no accessible introduction to Peter Lombards life and thought is available in any modern language. This volume fills this considerable gap. Philipp W. Rosemann begins by demonstrating how the Book of Sentences grew out of a long tradition of Christian reflection—a tradition, ultimately rooted in Scripture, that by the twelfth century was ready to transform itself into a theologi cal system. Turning to the Sentences, Rosemann then offers a brief exposition of the Lombard's life and work. He proceeds to a book-by-book examination and inter pretation of its main topics, including the nature and attributes of God, the Trinity, creation, angelology, human nature and the Fall, original sin, Christology, ethics, and the sacraments. He concludes by exploring how the Sentences helped shape the further development of the Christian tradition, from the twelfth century through the time of Martin Luther.
About the Author Philipp W. Rosemann is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Dallas and editor of the Dallas Medieval Texts and Translation series. His previous books include Omne ens est aliquid: Introduction a la lecture du "systeme"philosophique de saint Thomas d'Aquin and Understanding Scholastic Thought with Foucault.
