The Sentences-Book 1 The Mystery of the Trinity

Peter Lombard's major work, the four books of the sentences, was written in the mid twelfth century, and as early as the 1160s the text was glossed and commented on in the schools. There is hardly a theologian of note throughout the rest of the Middle Ages who did not write a commentary on the sentences. This volume forms part of the first full English translation. Book one compiles the teachings of the church fathers on knotty areas of trinitarian theology.
