Zusatztext Philipp Rosemann has written an excellent book on Peter Lombard. Rosemann's fine study is a highly recommended opportunity to be guided carefully into the theological world of the Master of Sentences and through what the author calls 'the greatest textbook theology in the West Informationen zum Autor 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 à la lecture du "système" philosophique de saint Thomas d'Aquin and Understanding Scholastic Thought with Foucault. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung Philipp W. Rosemann begins by demonstrating how the Book of Sentences grew out of a long tradition of Christian reflection rooted in Scripture, which by the 12th century had become ready to transform itself into a theological system. Turning to the Sentences , Rosemann then offers a brief exposition of the Lombard's life and work.
