Evagrius and Gregory by Kevin Corrigan
Evagrius of Pontus and Gregory of Nyssa have been overlooked by philosophers and theologians in modern times. This book argues that in Evagrius and Gregory we see the important integration of many different concerns that later Christian thought was not always able to balance including: mysticism, asceticism, cognitive science, and theology.-

This is the first scholarly attempt to compare the spiritual anthropology of Evagrius of Pontus and Gregory of NyssaAccording to Kevin Corrigan these two towering figures of the late fourth-century church brought to birth a new understanding of Christian thought and practice by their innovative interpretation of the tradition they both received. Journal of Theological Studies '... this book is an intriguing, lively, and thoroughly enlightening consideration of the thinking of two philosopher-theologians of the late fourth century. ... In my view, Corrigan's work can lead to a reinvigorated discussion of these two writers, still challenging and undomesticated thanks to their own intelligence and creativity.' Journal of Religion '... a most stimulating and thoughtful book, which sheds considerable light on each of these interesting thinkers and on the links between them.' Aestimatio
