Known as the "Father of Church History," Eusebius was bishop of
Caesarea in Palestine and the leading Christian scholar of his day.
His Ecclesiastical History is an irreplaceable chronicle of
Christianity's early development, from its origin in Judaism,
through two and a half centuries of illegality and occasional
persecution, to a new era of tolerance and favor under the Emperor
Constantine. In this book, Michael J. Hollerich recovers the
reception of this text across time. As he shows, Eusebius adapted
classical historical writing for a new "nation," the Christians,
with a distinctive theo-political vision. Eusebius's text left its
mark on Christian historical writing from late antiquity to the
early modern period-across linguistic, cultural, political, and
religious boundaries-until its encounter with modern historicism
and postmodernism. Making Christian History demonstrates Eusebius's
vast influence throughout history, not simply in shaping Christian
culture but also when falling under scrutiny as that culture has
been reevaluated, reformed, and resisted over the past 1,700 years.
