Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Class Book, or History of the Church From the Birth of Christ to the Present Time: Adapted to the Use of Academies and Schools The first edition of the, following work, published a few years since, was designed to be such a Class Book and, although adopted in several academies and schools, and, in general, well received, it was soon suggested that the work admitted of im portant irnprovements, especially in respect to a clearer state ment of the chims of the several religious communities noticed in the volume, and the omission of such observations as might justly be attributed to a censorious or sectarian spirit. These points the author has endeavoured to keep in view, in the re vision of the work. He has desired to treat every religious denomination with candour. Controverted points have been designedly excluded, and private opinion suppressed. The nu thor has confined himself to facts, and such facts as seemed to be of the greatest importance.
