Eusebius' magisterial Praeparatio Evangelica (written sometime
between AD 313 and 324) offers an apologetic defence of
Christianity in the face of Greek accusations of irrationality and
impiety. Though brimming with the quotations of other (often lost)
Greek authors, the work is dominated by a clear and sustained
argument. Against the tendency to see the Praeparatio as merely an
anthology of other sources or a defence of monotheistic religion
against paganism, Aaron P. Johnson seeks to appreciate Eusebius'
contribution to the discourses of Christian identity by
investigating the constructions of ethnic identity (especially
Greek) at the heart of his work. Analysis of his ethnic
argumentation' exhibits a method of defending Christianity by
construing its opponents as historically rooted nations, whose
place in the narrative of world history serves to undermine the
legitimacy of their claims to ancient wisdom and piety.
