Book Synopsis Psalmody and Prayer in the Writings of Evagrius Ponticus by : Luke Dysinger
Book excerpt: Evagrius' often-neglected commentaries on scripture are discussed together with his better known works in order to present a more balanced picture of the monk and his model of the spiritual life as a rhythm back and forth between the poles of image-filled prayer and imageless, wordless 'pure' prayer.
