Eusebius: The Church History PB

With the only surviving account of Christianity during its first 300 years, Eusebius pioneered ecclesiastical history; his use of extensive quotations from original sources is exemplary. In this abridged version, Maier, famous for his translation of Josephus, accurately captures the vitality of the original and includes ample notes.

Often called the "Father of Church History," Eusebius was the first to trace the rise of Christianity during its crucial first three centuries from Christ to Constantine. Our principal resource for earliest Chrisitianity, The Church History presents a panorama of apostles, church fathers, emperors, bishops, heroes, heretics, confessors, and martyrs.

This paperback edition includes Paul L. Maier's clear and precise translation, historical commentary on each book in The Church History, and numerous maps, illustrations, and photographs. Coupled with helpful indexes and the Loeb numbering system, these features promise to liberate Eusebius from previous outdated and stilted works, creating a new standard primary resource for readers interested in the early history of Christianity.
