The Historia ecclesiastica of Eusebius took part in the cultural
negotiations that attended the turn to a post-Constantinian
Christianity. The immediate success of Historia ecclesiastica
indicates its success in legitimizing the change process, and in
conferring upon the Christian readers a past in keeping with their
own situation. This book pinpoints the more or less fragmented
concepts of history and world implied in Historia ecclesiastica and
investigates what narrative(s) on the history of Christianity are
contained in the work, and how Christianity and church are
constructed as ideal entities. Differing from more conventional
readings, where Historia ecclesiastica would be read as a more or
less reliable document concerning the history of early
Christianity, the book primarily reads the work as a text, pointing
towards the cultural system which the text is itself a part of, but
to which our access is only partial.
