The Ecole Glossary Influenced by Origen and Gregory of Nyssa, Evagrius taught that the goal of man is reunion with God, which man effects through asceticism and contemplation. However, Evagrius also believed that the original unity of God and His rational beings was broken by a fault of the beings, who became souls and were later joined to bodies. Evagrius taught that Christ was the only one of the rational beings to stay with God when the others lapsed and took a body to lead other souls to a similar unity with God. www2.evansville.edu /ecoleweb/glossary/evagrios.html   (270 words)

The Practicus of Evagrius Ponticus in Syriac and Arabic translations Evagrius Ponticus was born in 345 in Ibora in Pontus (a province in present-day Turkey). Evagrius' father was a bishop, and thus it was quite natural that also the son would have clerical offices. Evagrius was deeply rooted in this monastic tradition; he was not an inventor and free-thinker who had come from outside, with the purpose of forcing his learned philosophy upon "simple and illiterate" monks, according to what church historians ever since the 6th century have taught about Evagrius. web.telia.com /~u46115292/Engelska/HTML/evagrius.html   (631 words)

Last check: ) Evagrius was appointed and ordained to Lector in the church, by the elderly St.Basil, it is not known precisely when, but between 370 when he was consecrated Bishop, and 379 when he died, is quite realistic. Evagrius now set out for the deserts of Egypt, and sat for the rest of his life at the feet of two of the greatest Origenist teachers: Macarius the Great and Didymus the Blind in the monastic settlement at Nitria, in the Egyptian desert. Some commentators on Evagrius speculate upon the fact that with Evagrius, as with most of the desert fathers and early monastics, significantly little detail, if any, is given of the sacraments of the Church, and some are even moved to say that he had discovered he was better off without it. www.gizmoland.org /terje/archives/000798.html   (1734 words)

Evagrius So, the monastic life for Evagrius is not only the struggle to rid the self of all evil and ignorance, but also the monk is to establish in the soul virtue and knowledge, through prayer and contemplation. Evagrius may have been the intellectual forebearer of the hesychast tradition, with his emphasis on pure intellectual contemplation and strict asceticism aimed at freeing the monk from passions to attain 'apatheia'. Since Evagrius was condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council in 553, for his Origenist thought and some of his more speculative writings, many people fail to recognize the influence of Evagrian spirituality on the more Orthodox theologians that followed. www.byzantines.net /scranton/evag.htm   (6874 words)

Evagrius Ponticus and the Condemnation of Origen - Edward Moore, S.T.L., Ph.D. - Theandros - An Online journal of ... Evagrius' transformation of Origen's doctrine of absolute freedom of thought into a dogmatic formulation of thought as (divinely proscribed) prayer, effectively stifled progress in the Byzantine world, and provided fuel for the eventual 'humanistic' backlash against the Church and its institutionalized dogma in the Middle Ages. The real danger, in Evagrius' interpretation of Origen, resided in the replacement of a salvific contemplation with a state of prayer in which the soul is essentially static. The free expression of a thinker like Evagrius - although he was condemned - contributed to the eventual subordination, in Byzantine ecclesiastic theology, of the freedom of the person to the glorious expression of God. www.theandros.com /evagrius.html   (3378 words)

OCAMPR Evagrius Ponticus was a native of the country of Pontus, an ancient country in the northeast of Asia Minor. Evagrius’ great insight (though perhaps he was influenced by Origen) was to relate the great diseases of the soul, the great disorders that encompass all the others, to the three aspects of the soul. Evagrius was making the point that we should deal with despondency in the same way that the writers of the Psalms dealt with it, by going through the experience and trusting that God will lead us out on the other side. www.ocampr.org /asceticTradition.asp   (7590 words)

The doctrine of Evagrius, a mystical theologian and a man of contemplative prayer, is that the soul itself when purified gives off a light that is natural to it but which was covered over by sin. Evagrius does not elaborate further, but leaves it to the reader to ponder the function of this phenomenon as well as the manner in which this light of understanding is imparted. www.abbotjohneudes.org /c03nov02.html   (2608 words)
