- Summary:
- Peter Lombard is best-known as the author of a celebrated work entitled Book of Sentences. For several centuries, it served as the standard theological textbook in the Christian West, and was the subject of more commentaries than any other work of Christian literature besides the Bible itself. Despite his importance, however, there is no accessible introduction to Peter Lombard's life and thought available in any modern language. This volume fills this considerable gap. Rosemann explores how the Sentences helped shape the further development of the tradition, from the twelfth century through the time of Martin Luther.
