The Sentences, Book 4: On the Doctrine of Signs (Mediaeval Sources in Translation)

The principal signs and instruments of grace available to Christians as a result of Christâ€™s redeeming work are the sacraments of the Church â€“ baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, extreme unction, holy orders, and marriage. These are the main subjects of Book 4 of the Sentences, comprising forty-two of its fifty Distinctions. In particular, penance and marriage (with regard to which the Lombardâ€™s consensual theory was to prove extremely influential) receive extensive discussion. The last eight Distinctions are given over to a treatment of the last things: the bodily resurrection, purgation, hell, the last judgement, and eternity. The Book concludes with a reference to a text of Isaias that serves as an allegory of the function and purpose of the Sentences as a whole.
