Evagrius on the Spiritual Life: Faith, Love and Knowledge

Please bring a packed lunch.  Coffee and tea provided

The desert monk Evagrius created a map of the Christian spiritual life which has been used by contemplatives both East and West ever since his lifetime. We will begin to explore it through talks, reflection and meditation.

Monica has worked with Evagrius for 15 years as scholar and contemplative. She has lectured on the history of philosophy and Christian spirituality at the Franciscan International Study Centre in Canterbury and is now an Honorary Research Fellow of UCL’s Department of Greek and Latin. Her book Apatheia and Anthropology in Evagrius of Pontus is forthcoming from Routledge.
