Identifying, understanding and defeating temptation has piqued the interest of theologians for centuries. One such theologian was Evagrius Ponticus. He carefully and systematically analyzed the subject of temptation, and his subsequent insights have significantly influenced subsequent generations of scholarship.
Please note that this site does not attempt to comprehensively reproduce the teachings of Evagrius. If you are looking for online editions of texts written by Evagrius or relevant academic articles, please visit the "links" (will be posted soon).
