Opis

Evagrius Ponticus was the most prolific writer of the Christian Desert Fathers. This book is a study of his life, works, and theology. It gives particular attention to his little-studied exegetical treatises, especially the Scholia on Psalms, as well as his better-known works, in order to present a more balanced picture of Evagrius the monk.

Recenzje

...a detailed and sensitive analysis of Evagrius' writings on psalmody and prayer...innovative and genuinely advances our understanding of Evagrius as a monk and exegete and the central place of psalmody and prayer in Evagrian spirituality.
