SynopsisThe first comprehensive history of early Christianity. Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. AD 260-340), born in Palestine, was a student of the presbyter Pamphilus, whom he loyally supported during Diocletian's persecution. He was himself imprisoned in Egypt, but became Bishop of Caesarea around 314. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 he sat by the emperor, led a party of moderates, and made the first draft of the famous creed. Of Eusebius' many learned publications we have the Martyrs of Palestine and the Life of Constantine ; several apologetic and polemic works; parts of his commentaries on the Psalms and Isaiah; and the Chronographia , known chiefly in Armenian and Syriac versions of the original Greek. But Eusebius' chief fame rests on the History of the Christian Church in ten books, published in 324-325, the most important ecclesiastical history of ancient times, a great treasury of knowledge about the early Church., Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea from about AD 314, was the most important writer in the age of Constantine. His history of the Christian church from the ministry of Jesus to AD 324 is a treasury of information, especially on the Eastern centers., Eusebius of Caesarea, ca. 260-340 CE, born in Palestine, was a student of the presbyter Pamphilus whom he loyally supported during Diocletian's persecution.

Indispensible church history.
The book arrived in excellent condition and was very reasonably priced. This particular Loeb volume includes the first five of ten books. The second group of five books is available in another Loeb edition. Eusebius is the oldest extant church historian, a very careful writer who included many excerpts from earlier chroniclers and other authors, some of which would not have survived the centuries otherwise. This Loeb addition has the Greek text facing an accurate English translation. Kirsopp Lake has a good introduction, but he is rather dismissive of the testimony of the first/second century author Papias, which has been shown by scholars to be reliable and has been dated earlier than church historians in Lake's time (the 1920s) thought.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Love the Koine Greek with English
Eusebius is both ante and post Nicene. He was witness to the burning of the 30,000 book library in caesarea under Diocletians persecution. He was also at Nicea, so his writings are a good source to pre and post apostolic thought concerning Scripture.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
