Peter Abelard & Peter Lombard: The Rise of Scholastic Theology | Church History for Life

In this episode of Church History for Life, we explore the lives and influence of Peter Abelard and Peter Lombard, two of the most important theologians of the medieval period.

Who were these men? What were they known for? And how can we learn from them today?

We discuss the rise of scholastic theology, the relationship between faith and reason, Abelard’s controversial life and theological method, and Lombard’s lasting influence through The Sentences. We also examine Lombard’s role in defining the seven sacraments and shaping medieval theology for centuries to come.

Join us as we consider how these medieval churchmen helped shape the intellectual and theological world of the Western church.
