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. The practice of psalmody in Northern Egyptian
monastic communities of the late fourth century is explored, as is
Evagrius' understanding of psalmody's healing properties, and his
recommendation of memorized scripture as a spiritual weapon against
temptation. Further chapters discuss Evagrius' model of spiritual
progress and his use of medical terminology and theory; the logoi
of providence and judgement and their use in Christian
contemplation; and Evagrius' controversial Christology and his
work, the Kephalaia Gnostica.
