Eusebius of Caesarea (263-339 CE) is one of the most important
intellectuals whose writings survive from late antiquity. His texts
made lasting and wide-ranging contributions, from history-writing
and apologetics to biblical commentary and Christian oratory. He
was a master of many of the literary and scholarly traditions of
the Greek heritage. Yet he left none of these traditions unaltered
as he made brilliant and original experiments in the many genres he
explored. Aaron P Johnson offers a lively introduction to Eusebius'
chief oeuvre while also discussing recent scholarship on this
foundational early Christian writer. Placing Eusebius in the
context of his age the author provides a full account his life,
including the period when Eusebius controversially sought to assist
the heretic Arius. He then discusses the major writings: apologetic
treatises; the pedagogical and exegetical works; the historical
texts; the anti-Marcellan theological discourses; and expositions
directly connected to the Emperor Constantine.
