I'd never heard of Fr Theophanes or his work, but I intend to explore it more in depth.<br /><br />For anyone else who does not know, Fr Theophanes is a Greek-Canadian who was tonsured at Simonopetra in 1990, and now lives in a kelli at Kafsokalyvia. There is an interview with him, which I plan to listen to, at the website of the Institute for Orthdoox Christian Studies, Cambridge.Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-69874588519356760762010-03-15T11:21:22.736-05:002010-03-15T11:21:22.736-05:00I do appreciate your entry on Evagrius. For other ...I do appreciate your entry on Evagrius. For other of your readers who might be interested in his teaching, I highly recommend the work of Fr. Theophanes (Constantine), titled "The Psychological Basis of Mental Prayer in the Heart". His second volume of this work is "The Evagrian Ascetical System", although I urge any readers to read both Vol. 1, "The Orthodox Doctrine of the Person" and Vol. 3, "Hesychian Sobriety." Fr. Theophanes does an absolutely masterful job of analysis and comnmentary, and his work is utterly essential for anyone practicing the Prayer of the Heart.<br /><br />His work is available online at http://timiosprodromos.blogspot.com/The Rev.
