Description
Eusebius: A Life and Works of a Foundational Early Christian Writer Aaron P Johnson offers a lively introduction to Eusebius' chief oeuvre, exploring his brilliant experiments in various genres. This biography provides a full account of Eusebius' life, including his involvement with the heretic Arius, as well as an examination of his major writings. Eusebius was a master of many literary and scholarly traditions of the Greek heritage, yet he made original contributions to history-writing, apologetics, biblical commentary, and Christian oratory. Johnson discusses recent scholarship on this foundational early Christian writer, placing Eusebius in the context of his age. The book covers Eusebius' major writings, including apologetic treatises, pedagogical and exegetical works, historical texts, anti-Marcellan theological discourses, and expositions connected to Emperor Constantine.
