Bøker av St. Evagrius Ponticus

St. Evargius Ponticus clarifies the utility of Christian prayer in one hundred and fifty-three points in this short document. Unlike many of his contemporary peers, his audience appears to be both for lay readers and for monastics as well. He structures his argument around the proposition that prayer is a necessary function of daily life, and granting it structure and discipline can only help the faithful in their attempt to approach the Lord.
