Eusebius
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. |

Eusebius
Eusebius (d. c.359), Bp. of Emesa (modern Homs) in Syria. He was a biblical exegete and writer on doctrinal subjects, of Semiarian sympathies. Having declined the see of Alexandria when Athanasius was deposed in 339, he became Bp. of Emesa soon afterwards. Until modern times, only fragments of his works were known, but some 30 sermons have now been ascribed to him. A (quite different) collection of sermons of Gallican provenance has long gone under the name of ‘Eusebius’; these are now believed to be derived from Faustus of Riez.
