Book •
Peter Lombard's 'Sententiae,' also known as 'Four Books of Sentences,' is a highly influential work of medieval theology that systematically organizes theological topics into four books.
The first book discusses the Trinity, exploring the nature of God and the divine attributes.
The second book examines creation, sin, and grace, delving into the origins of the universe and humanity's relationship with God. The third book focuses on the Incarnation, Christ's life, and the sacraments, explaining the significance of Christ's saving work.
The fourth book addresses eschatology, the last things, and the resurrection, contemplating the ultimate destiny of humanity and the cosmos.
Lombard's 'Sententiae' became a standard textbook for theological education in the Middle Ages, shaping the development of scholastic theology.
