Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Fathers of the Church, deeply-rooted in the Scriptures, have left us a rich treasure as inheritance, not only of texts, but also of manners, forms and gestures of prayer. Today, western Christianity in a special way, needs to rediscover the intimate union which must existin prayer just as in any aspect of Christian lifebetween theory and practice, between contemplation and practical exercise. One learns how to pray by praying, and the whole of our being is called to participate in this work: the mind, the heart, but also the body, the gaze, the senses. Fr. Gabriel Bunge, a hermit with great spiritual discernment and profound knowledge of the Fathers of the desert, presents with masterly coherence this important unity between what one believes and what one expresses in the practice of prayer: a fascinating rediscovery of the valuable treasure contained in the teachings of the Church Fathers on the practice of personal prayer."

Paper Back. Condition: New. In contrast to psychology, which justifies anger and aggressiveness as 'natural' human tendencies, Evagrius Ponticus castigates their 'unnatural' outcome: 'No other evil makes man in particular as much like a demon as anger.' Where spiritual life elevates our nature to the angelic plane, anger drives us downward toward the 'bestial' state. Drawing on his knowledge of Evagrius's fourth-century writings, Bunge renders this great 'desert philosopher's' teachings on anger both accessible and applicable to modern readers. When Evagrius describes troubled dreams, obsessive thoughts, and other consequences of anger, his paramount concern lies with their impact on prayer: 'The man who stores up injuries and resentments and yet fancies he prays might as well draw water from a well and put it in a cask that is full of holes.' Evagrius demonstrates how an angry person's prayer leads to idolatry (we turn from God to contemplate the face of the one who has offended us), even heresy. To heal this illness of the soul, vice must be replaced with its opposite virtue - love, in the form of humility and meekness. With a keen grasp of scriptural allegory, Bunge unpacks Evagrius's Old Testament models of 'warlike' meekness, especially David and Moses. Here is 'neither a weak yielding, nor.the reckless playing out of one's superiority and strength, but rather.submission of one's self, so that the other might have life.' 148 pp.…
