Ecclesiastical History

Book •
Eusebius of Caesarea's "Ecclesiastical History" is a foundational work in early Christian historiography.

It chronicles the history of the Christian Church from its origins to the early 4th century, providing valuable insights into the development of Christian doctrine, the lives of early Christians, and the relationship between the Church and the Roman Empire.

The work is structured chronologically, covering major events, theological debates, and the lives of prominent figures.

Eusebius's perspective is inherently Christian, shaping his interpretation of events and his selection of sources.

The "Ecclesiastical History" remains a crucial primary source for understanding the early Church and its place in the Roman world.
