Sixteen centuries before modern psychology began mapping the patterns of intrusive thought, a monk in the Egyptian desert had already charted the territory with astonishing precision.

The Wisdom of Evagrius Ponticus: The Desert and the Discipline of Thought recovers the intellectual legacy of one of early Christianity's most brilliant and most unjustly forgotten thinkers. Born in the Roman province of Pontus around 345, Evagrius rose through the church as a protégé of the great Cappadocian theologians before abandoning a promising career in Constantinople to spend his final sixteen years in the monastic settlements of the Egyptian desert. There he developed a systematic analysis of the human mind that remains one of the most penetrating accounts of interior experience ever written.
