Description
The History of the Church From Christ to Constantine is Eusebius's seminal account of the Church's early years, spanning from the time of Christ to the Great Persecution and the conversion of Emperor Constantine. Written by a learned scholar who lived in Caesarea, this work provides a model for later ecclesiastical historians and offers a unique insight into the Church's struggle for purity and continuity.
Tracing the history of the Church from its inception to the early fourth century, Eusebius aimed to demonstrate the doctrinal tradition of Christianity and its resilience in the face of persecution and heresy. This revised edition of his work remains a valuable resource for understanding the early Christian Church and its development.
