About
"This ultimately joyful work is one of the few books available in English to deal exclusively with the problem of despondency, and how it can be overcome. Fr. Gabriel Bunge analyzes the views of Evagrius Ponticus, the famous 'philosopher in the desert,' on the dangers of acedia or 'despondency.' Acedia belongs to the list of eight 'evil thoughts,' which includes not only vices of the body, but also vices of the soul - such as sadness and anger. These vices are opposed to 'eight virtures' - including moderation, poverty, joy, and patience." -- Back cover.
