| Summary: | This is the first scholarly attempt to compare the spiritual anthropology of Evagrius of Pontus and Gregory of Nyssa. According to Kevin Corrigan these two towering figures of the late fourth-century church brought to birth a new understanding of Christian thought and practice by their innovative interpretation of the tradition they both received., Irénée Hausherr in the 1930s was the first to draw attention to similarities between Evagrius and Gregory, but widely held doubts about the orthodoxy of Evagrius have not led to any great development of this theme until now. |
