EVAGRIUS PONTICUS (Early Church Fathers S.)

Presenting many texts available for the very first time, this new volume in the successful Early Church Fathers series showcases full translations of Evagrius’ letters, notes on various books of the bible, his treatises and his ‘chapters’. Augustine Casiday’s material is both accurate and refreshingly approachable, and the work is prefaced by a solid introductory essay that presents Evagrius, his work and influences, and modern scholarship in an easy-to-understand way for beginners. For students dealing with Evagrius for the first time, they could not find a better book to begin their exploration of this figure in late-ancient history and theology.
