| Summary: | Evagrius Ponticus seems to invite controversy. That was apparently true in his lifetime (though we have no evidence that is actually contemporary), but within years of his death in 399 he was being associated with the condemnation of the Origenist monks of the Egyptian desert in the following year by Patriarch Theophilos of Alexandria, and 150 years later Evagrius seems to have been one of the targets of the condemnation of Origenism associated with the Fifth Ecumenical Council, though this is not explicitly mentioned in any surviving conciliar record. (Evagrius the church historian and Cyril of Scythopolis seem clear enough about it, however.) Even condemned, he remained controversial. |
