The course begins by looking at the origins of Christian monasticism during the third century CE, when thousands of men and women renounced the world and withdrew to the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine to seek God in a life of solitude and prayer. What inspired them to do this? What were they trying to achieve? In seeking answers to these questions, we will examine the lives and sayings of the so-called "desert fathers", with a particular emphasis on the theological writings of Evagrius of Pontus (c. 345-399).

What an impressive collection of monastic beliefs and practices
Revisado: 08-07-20
“You want to know God, first know yourself”
Evagrius
I will be listening and relistening to this book for a great many years. I was thirsting for more information on Evagrius Ponticus and the life of the desert fathers and mothers and found this gem on Audible. Nicholas Buxton utilizes his PhD in Buddhism from Cambridge with his Anglican Priest profession and offers a compelling, gripping look at the many misgivings and misperceptions about monastic life. The book also details much in the way of spiritual disciplines around discernment of spirits (thoughts) and what we might call contemplative prayer today. A real life guide to how to live today in the presence of God in the midst of world which lives murmuring through text messages and TikTok.
