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
wrote
his
Ecclesiastical
History,
his
vital
concern
was to
record
facts
before
they
disappeared,
and
before
eye-witnesses
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
(c. A.D.
260-340)
richly
deserves
the
title
father
of
Church
history.â€
More
readable.

words

and the

Ecclesiastical
