There is a perceptible movement in Evagrius’ texts from Christianized collections of gnomai to biblical/exegetical sentences (scholia), then to more obscure gnomai intended for a select group of gnostikoi. This movement reflects Evagrius’ vision of the evolving cosmos and the evolving self: that is, his effort to see every text and life experience as a comprehensible part of an individual and universal epic.
