Eusebius (
c.260–
c.340), Bp. of Caesarea by 315. During the
Arian controversy he supported Arius and was condemned by the Council of Antioch (324/5). At the Council of
Nicaea (325) he was reinstated when he produced the baptismal creed of Caesarea as evidence of his orthodoxy; he ultimately accepted the
Nicene Creed, but only half-heartedly, and he continued to oppose
Athanasius.
Eusebius's ‘Ecclesiastical History’ is the main source for the history of Christianity from the Apostolic Age to his own day. It contains a huge range of material on the E. Church, largely in the form of extracts taken over bodily from earlier writers. His other works include ‘The Martyrs of Palestine’, an account of the
Diocletianic persecution; a ‘Chronicle’ or summary of universal history with a table of dates; a ‘Life of
Constantine’, which, though panegyric, contains valuable historical matter; and the ‘Preparation for the Gospel’ and the ‘Demonstration of the Gospel’. The former of these shows why Christians accept the Hebrew and reject the Greek tradition; the latter attempts to prove Christianity from the OT.
