Seller's Description:
New. Intense conflict with demons, especially in the form of thoughts, lay at the heart of early Egyptian monasticism. 'Opposition from demons, ' writes professor of Religious Studies David Brakke, 'provided the resistance that the monk needed to form himself into a person of integrity. ' In Talking Back Evagrius couples the thoughts, circumstances, and anxieties the demons use to assail the monk with relevant passages from the Bible that contradict demonic suggestion. Arranged in eight books according to the eight primary demons-gluttony, fornication, love of money, sadness, anger, listlessness, vainglory, and pride-Antirrhetikos is modeled on the monastic tradition of antirrhesis, the practice of talking back. Evagrius cites King David and Jesus as the biblical founders of the tradition-David directed many of his Psalms against his persecutors and enemies (whom Evagrius equates with the demons) and Jesus used Scripture to respond to the temptations of Satan in the desert. Though Talking Back may strike the modern reader as an odd sort of book, the anxieties that troubled these monastic pioneers are altogether human. They worried about the effect of asceticism on their bodies, about the condition of their cells, about the health of their families. They missed relatives, feared going mad and growing old. Their struggle to attend to the power of thoughts is a necessary corrective to the modern affliction of the undisciplined mind. 190 pp.
