Eusèbe de Césarée fut un historien romain, un exégète biblique et un polémiste chrétien qui devint évêque. Considéré comme le "Père de l'Histoire de l'Église", ses recherches académiques se sont profondément plongées dans l'examen des textes bibliques. Ses contributions les plus significatives résident dans ses études méticuleuses des Évangiles et dans son œuvre monumentale retraçant l'histoire de l'Église primitive et de ses martyrs. Eusèbe a posé les bases de l'historiographie et de l'exégèse textuelle chrétiennes, laissant une marque littéraire indélébile.
"The History of the Church" by Eusebius, the 4th-century bishop of Caesarea, chronicles early Christianity from Christ to Constantine. As the first comprehensive Christian history, it offers a unique perspective, despite criticisms of bias. This edition features premium acid-free paper and follows McGiffert's translation.
Eusebius's account is the only surviving historical record of the Church during its crucial first 300 years. Bishop Eusebius, a learned scholar who lived most of his life in Caesarea in Palestine, broke new ground in writing the History and provided a model for all later ecclesiastical historians. In tracing the history of the Church from the time of Christ to the Great Persecution at the beginning of the fourth century, and ending with the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, his aim was to show the purity and continuity of the doctrinal tradition of Christianity and its struggle against persecutors and heretics.
Covering the evolution of the Christian church from Christ to Constantine, this comprehensive ecclesiastical history offers valuable insights for Christians and theology scholars alike. Translated by Rev. Arthur Cushman McGiffert, it serves as both an excellent companion to the Bible and a standalone religious historical text, enriching readers' understanding of early church history and its significant figures.
