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."
"More readable." This is the only full edition of "Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical History" that has been retypeset in modern,
