{"product_id":"2940016147963","title":"Despondency: The Spiritual Teaching of Evagrius Ponticus on Acedia","description":"This ultimately joyful work is one of the few books available in English to deal exclusively with the problem of despondency-acedia- and how it can be overcome. Bunge analyzes the views of Evagrius Ponticus, the famous \"philosopher of the desert,\" on the dangers of acedia. Evagrius develops a sophisticated psychology which remains beneficial to us today. Indeed, this 4th-century Desert Father writes for Christians everywhere: for those in modern deserts -the city- and for those subject to silent despair. This is a companion book to Dragon's Wine and Angel's Bread (SVS Press, 2009).","brand":"St Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069785981168,"sku":"2940016147963","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016147963_p0.jpg?v=1763629798","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016147963","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
