| eusebius church history: Making Christian History Michael Hollerich, 2021-06-22 Known as the “Father of Church History,” Eusebius was bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and the leading Christian scholar of his day. His Ecclesiastical History is an irreplaceable chronicle of Christianity’s early development, from its origin in Judaism, through two and a half centuries of illegality and occasional persecution, to a new era of tolerance and favor under the Emperor Constantine. In this book, Michael J. Hollerich recovers the reception of this text across time. As he shows, Eusebius adapted classical historical writing for a new “nation,” the Christians, with a distinctive theo-political vision. Eusebius’s text left its mark on Christian historical writing from late antiquity to the early modern period—across linguistic, cultural, political, and religious boundaries—until its encounter with modern historicism and postmodernism. Making Christian History demonstrates Eusebius’s vast influence throughout history, not simply in shaping Christian culture but also when falling under scrutiny as that culture has been reevaluated, reformed, and resisted over the past 1,700 years. |

| eusebius church history: Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History: The Ten Books of Christian Church History, Complete and Unabridged (Hardcover) Eusebius Pamphilus, 2018-08-02 All ten books of Eusebius' famous church history are presented here complete in a superb and authoritative translation. Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History is one of the first comprehensive, chronologically arranged histories ever written about the Christian church, and it is consulted by scholars and historians to this day. Eusebius authored his history as the Roman Empire's influence upon the European continent waned amid insurgencies and surrender of Roman lands to other peoples. This also a time in which Christianity's influence upon Europe's peoples burgeoned and grew. As one of a very few learned and scholarly Christians of his era Eusebius enjoyed a rare privilege: access to the document archives of the early Christian church. Much of these archives have since been lost; Eusebius' use of these long lost texts is the only window which readers of today have to such records. Thus, a sense of mystery is present as events for which scant evidence still exists are told. |

| eusebius church history: The History of the Church from Christ to Constantine Eusebius, 1989-11-23 Eusebius's account is the only surviving historical record of the Church during its crucial first 300 years. Bishop Eusebius, a learned scholar who lived most of his life in Caesarea in Palestine, broke new ground in writing the History and provided a model for all later ecclesiastical historians. In tracing the history of the Church from the time of Christ to the Great Persecution at the beginning of the fourth century, and ending with the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, his aim was to show the purity and continuity of the doctrinal tradition of Christianity and its struggle against persecutors and heretics. |
| eusebius church history: A Skeleton in God's Closet Paul L. Maier, 2012-04-30 When an ancient skeleton is discovered in Israel, will it shed new light on the life of Jesus or plunge the world into chaos? Dr. Jonathan Weber, Harvard professor and biblical scholar, is looking forward to his sabbatical year on an archaeological dig in Israel. But a spectacular find that seems to be an archaeologist’s dream-come-true becomes a nightmare that many fear will be the death rattle of Christianity. Carefully researched and compellingly written, A Skeleton in God’s Closet explores the tension between faith and doubt when science and religion collide. In the end, it’s a thought-provoking page-turner, driven by one man’s determination to find the truth—no matter the cost. |
| eusebius church history: On First Principles Origen, 2013-12-09 Origen’s On First Principles is a foundational work in the development of Christian thought and doctrine: it is the first attempt in history at a systematic Christian theology. For over a decade it has been out of print with only expensive used copies available; now it is available at an affordable price and in a more accessible format. On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity. Readers see Origen grappling with the mysteries of salvation and brainstorming how they can be understood. This edition presents G. W. Butterworth’s trusted translation in a new, more readable format, retains the introduction by Henri de Lubac, and includes a new foreword by John C. Cavadini. As St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, wrote: “Origen is the stone on which all of us were sharpened.” |
| eusebius church history: The History of the Church (Translated by Arthur Cushman McGiffert) Eusebius, 2018-04 Written by Eusebius, the bishop of Caesarea, The History of the Church is the pioneering 4th century work which details the chronological history of early Christianity from the time of Christ to Constantine. This monumental work of Christian history stands apart from other contemporary histories as the first full-length record of early Christianity from a Christian point of view. A fierce advocate for the Christian religion, Eusebius lived in Caesarea Maritima, a coastal city in modern day Israel, prior to and during the rule of Constantine. At the time of Eusebius' life his hometown had became a center of Christian learning, through the work of Christian theologian Origen, and his follower Pamphilus, Eusebius' own teacher. This made Eusebius an ideal candidate to make a record of Christianity's crucial first three hundred years. While sometimes criticized as biased and inaccurate The History of the Church nevertheless provides an indispensable perspective upon the foundations of the Christian church and religion. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Arthur Cushman McGiffert. |

After surveying the history of the library from its origins as an ecclesiastical archive and its true foundation by Origen of Alexandria to its disappearance in the seventh century, it discusses how Eusebius used his sources and then examines what specific works were available in the library in chapters devoted to philosophical works, poetry and rhetoric, histories, Jewish and Christian works, and contemporary documents. The book ends with a useful list of the contents of the library. |

| eusebius church history: The Demonic in the Political Thought of Eusebius of Caesarea Hazel Johannessen, 2016-09-22 The Demonic in the Political Thought of Eusebius of Caesarea explores how Eusebius of Caesarea's ideas about demons interacted with and helped to shape his thought on other topics, particularly political topics Hazel Johannessen builds on and complements recent work on early Christian and early modern demonology. Eusebius' political thought has long drawn the attention of scholars who have identified in some of his works the foundations of later Byzantine theories of kingship. However, Eusebius' political thought has not previously been examined in the light of his views on demons. Moreover, despite frequent references to demons throughout many of Eusebius' works, there has been no comprehensive study of Eusebius' views on demons, until now, as expressed throughout a range of his works. The originality of this study lies both in an initial examination of Eusebius' views on demons and their place in his cosmology, and in the application of the insights derived from this to consideration of his political thought. As a result of this new perspective, Johannessen challenges scholars' traditional characterization of Eusebius as a triumphal optimist. Instead, she draws attention to his concerns about a continuing demonic threat, capable of disrupting humankind's salvation, and presents Eusebius as a more cautious figure than the one familiar to late antique scholarship. |
| eusebius church history: Church History Socrates Scholasticus, 2019-10-16 Church History, or the Historia Ecclesiastica, is a continuation of the historical work of Eusebius of Caesarea by the layman Socrates Scholasticus (who is also known as Socrates of Constantinople.) Church Historycovers the years 305 to 439 AD. His writing attempts historical objectivity, striving to avoid asseting his own theories upon the history while rejecting the taking of a polemic position as was common in his day. He attempts to accurately describe the dogmas and worldviews held by groups with whom he dissented from without denunciation. Socrates drew freely from the public documents available to him and from the cautious use of eyewitness testimony. In this edition, major terms are underlined for the convenience of the reader. |

| eusebius church history: Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History , 1998-11-01 Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History is one of the classics of early Christianity and of equal stature with the works of Flavius Josephus. Eusebius chronicles the events of the first three centuries of the Christian Church in such a way as to record a vast number of vital facts about early Christianity that can be learned from no other ancient source. When Eusebius (c. A.D. 260-340) wrote his Ecclesiastical History, his vital concern was to record facts before they disappeared and before eyewitnesses were killed and libraries were burned and destroyed in persecutions by Rome. He faithfully transcribed the most important existing documents of his day so that future generations would have a collection of factual data to interpret. Thus Eusebius richly deserves the title Father of Church History. |
| eusebius church history: Eusebius , 2021-09-28 Next to Josephus, Eusebius is the most widely-consulted reference work on the early church.

The hardcover edition of this new translation includes more than 150 color photographs, maps, and charts. |

| eusebius church history: The Early Church Henry Chadwick, 1990 Chadwickʹs Early Church covers, as the book cover suggests, the story of emergent Christianity from the apostolic age to the dividing of the ways between the Greek East and the Latin West. The story unfolds with the Jewish and Roman background within which the beginning church was nourished. It then goes on to show how important it is for the church to establish order and unity amidst threats of persecution and heresy. The emergence of apologists helps not only the expansion of the church but also the construction of Christian doctrine. At the same time, controversies abound as the church encountered many different cultural and sociological challenges while trying out in reaction a variety of ideas. With chapter seven, the relation between church and state changes, resulting in a stronger influence of the state upon the church while accelerating the split between the Latin West and the Greek East. The Arian controversy shows a period of instability between state and church, and also deepens the split of East and West. But within the turmoil, ascetic practice, papacy, liturgy, and art are established, helping to transmit a common European culture while the Roman Empire begins to degenerate. |

| eusebius church history: The History of the Church (the Church History of Eusebius) Eusebius, 2016-12-07 This edition of The History of the Church contains all ten chronologically arranged books by Eusebius, which together outline the major events in the early history of the Christian church between the 1st and 4th centuries AD. Ever since its publication in the 4th century, the Church History of Eusebius has enjoyed prominence as a much-cited sources on the subject. To this day it functions as a starting point for many historians, theologians, scholars and other interested readers wishing to research the ancient Christian church. Although many of the opinions Eusebius expressed are controversial - for example blaming the misfortunes of the Jewish peoples upon the death of Jesus - his work comprehensively chronicles the complex and storied events characterizing early Christendom. Eusebius begins his book with a detailed recounting of the life and personality of Jesus Christ, the son of God. This is followed by the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman general and later Emperor, Titus. The progress of Christianity through the time of the Emperor Trajan, and thereafter through rulers such as Septimus and Decius is recorded. The later books concern themselves with the persecution of early Christian believers, which was a frequent event during the rule of Diocletian. The profound effects this had upon the church's organisation and following is much detailed. Finally, the successful campaigns of the Emperor Constantine - who was the first Roman Emperor to be avowedly Christian - is covered, followed by the formal re-establishment of Christianity. Living in the 4th century AD as one of the earliest bishops, Eusebius of Caesarea was in an authoritative position to record the principle history of the Christian church. He had at his disposal the sizable library of Caesarea, and had spent his life in the study of a multitude of texts. His reputation, as attested in various chronicles, was as one of the most learned scholars on matters of the Christian religion alive at the time. Despite these appraisals, The Church History of Eusebius has had its accuracy called into question by subsequent historians and Christian figures. A common charge is that the book is more occupied with praising the Roman hegemony than strict accuracy. Modern historians of the 20th and 21st centuries meanwhile regard Eusebius as exclusionary to sources or opinions he deemed unfavorable or divergent with his own, personal point of view. |

| eusebius church history: Church History of Eusebius: ALL 10 Books in One Volume Eusebius, 2019-06-01 The Church History of Eusebius, the bishop of Caesarea, was a 4th-century pioneer work giving a chronological account of the development of Early Christianity from the 1st century to the 4th century. It was written in Koine Greek, and survives also in Latin, Syriac and Armenian manuscripts. Eusebius had access to the Theological Library of Caesarea and made use of many ecclesiastical monuments and documents, acts of the martyrs, letters, extracts from earlier Christian writings, lists of bishops, and similar sources, often quoting the originals at great length so that his work contains materials not elsewhere preserved. The result was the first full-length historical narrative written from a Christian point of view. |

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ... The ecclesiastical history of Eusebius Pamphilus Eusebius (of Caesarea, Bishop of Caesarea) NOTICE. The edition of Eusebius here offered to the public, is the first that has been issued in this country. It had its origin in the want of health, to sustain the ordinary labours of the ministry, and a wish to promote the knowledge, and advance the cause of religion. The nature of the work, and the estimation in which it has usually been held by the learned and pious, sanction the measure the publisher was induced to adopt, as being well calculated to answer the design. Circumstances attending the rise and early progress of Christianity, in a great measure peculiar to the character, condition, and wants of an infant Institution, established by divine authority, and protected to its completion by evident tokens of the divine presence and approbation, highly interesting in their nature, and extremely important to be known, invest the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius, (especially as it succeeds immediately to the Acts of the Apostles, and is for a considerable period the only work of the kind, ) with a degree of value, to subsequent ages, that no other uninspired document is entitled to claim. The undersigned is firmly persuaded that its extensive circulation will, as it furnishes the means in a good degree of comparing modern with primitive times, and of viewing them in contrast with each other, tend to increase useful knowledge, promote soundness and unity in the faith, advance the cause of the church, and maintain peace and quietness among all Christian people. In the confident opinion, that a general acquaintance with primitive Christianity would effect much for its cause, he has frequently wished to see the mo |
