Sentences (liber sententiarum)
"Sentences" or "Liber Sententiarum" is a foundational theological text written in the 12th century by Peter Lombard. It organizes and summarizes Christian doctrine by categorizing key theological topics into distinct sections, often referred to as "sentences." Lombard's work serves as a guide for understanding complex religious ideas, addressing issues like the nature of God, the Trinity, and the sacraments. It became immensely influential in the development of medieval scholasticism and was widely studied in universities, shaping the curriculum of theology for centuries.
