Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (The Fathers of the Church: Mediaeval Continuation)
Overview
Peter Abelard wrote his Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans in the mid-twelfth century, toward the end of his life, while teaching in Paris. Filled with questions on topics such as redemption, grace, and original sin, the commentary demonstrates the growing interest of urban scholars in applying dialectic to the study of Sacred Scripture. Abelard’s analysis of some of these topics contributed to his second condemnation at the Council of Sens in 1140. Despite its importance and the frequent references made to it by modern scholars, this commentary has never before been translated into English in its entirety. This volume, which includes an extensive introduction, fills this gap, thus providing a needed contribution to medieval scholarship.
