Evagrius of Pontus: Talking Back: A Monastic Handbook for Combating Demons
How did the monks of the Egyptian desert fight against the demons that attacked them with tempting thoughts?

His book lists over 500 thoughts or circumstances in which the demon-fighting monk might find himself, along with the biblical passages with which the monk should respond.
