All ten books of Eusebius' famous church history are presented here
complete in a superb and authoritative translation. Eusebius'
Ecclesiastical History is one of the first comprehensive,
chronologically arranged histories ever written about the Christian
church, and it is consulted by scholars and historians to this day.
Eusebius authored his history as the Roman Empire's influence upon
the European continent waned amid insurgencies and surrender of
Roman lands to other peoples. This also a time in which
Christianity's influence upon Europe's peoples burgeoned and grew.
As one of a very few learned and scholarly Christians of his era
Eusebius enjoyed a rare privilege: access to the document archives
of the early Christian church. Much of these archives have since
been lost; Eusebius' use of these long lost texts is the only
window which readers of today have to such records. Thus, a sense
of mystery is present as events for which scant evidence still
exists are told.
This scarce antiquarian book is a selection from Kessinger
Publishing's Legacy Reprint Series. Due to its age, it may contain
imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed
pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we

Constantine the Great is one of those rare historical figures who
is nearly as controversial today as he was in his own time. Lauded,
both then and now, as a military hero who ended the brutal
persecutions of Christians and as the first Roman emperor to
himself embrace Christianity, Constantine is just as often vilified
as a destructive innovator, a coddler of heretics, and a tyrannical
hypocrite with the blood of his own family on his hands. The Life
of the Blessed Emperor Constantine was penned shortly after the
emperor's death in AD 337 by the great Church historian Eusebius
Pamphilus, bishop of C]sarea. Though criticized as mere panegyric
lionizing Constantine's virtues while ignoring his flaws,
Eusebius's Life is nonetheless the most substantial and detailed
biography of the first Christian emperor to come down to us from
antiquity. The work is also the sole source for several key
episodes in Constantine's life--including the emperor's famous
vision of a cross in the sky accompanied by the words, "Conquer by
this."
