Scholars of the history and literature of Christianity and Judaism explore the life and long-lasting contribution of Eusebius of Caesarea, an important writer and historian from the early fourth century.This collection of essays focuses on elements of the story that Eusebius tells-the story of the early church, its relationship to Judaism, or its confrontation with the Roman empire-and explores gaps left by Eusebius. The writers offer a cross-section of current scholarly methods in the study of early Christianity and Judaism, focusing on institutional developments, literary questions, and theological issues raised by the study of Eusebius and his subject matter. Most offer critical perspectives on the Eusebian account, although they all indicate the enduring debt owed to Eusebius by all who study the origins of Christianity.

Eusebius of Caesarea, ca. 260–340 CE, born in Palestine, was a student of the presbyter Pamphilus whom he loyally supported during Diocletian's persecution. He was himself imprisoned in Egypt, but became Bishop of Caesarea about 314. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 he sat by the emperor, led a party of moderates, and made the first draft of the famous creed.Of Eusebius's many learned publications we have Martyrs of Palestine and Life of Constantine; several apologetic and polemic works; parts of his commentaries on the Psalms and Isaiah; and the Chronographia, known chiefly in Armenian and Syriac versions of the original Greek. But Eusebius's chief fame rests on the History of the Christian Church in ten books published in 324–325, the most important ecclesiastical history of ancient times, a great treasury of knowledge about the early Church.

Excerpt from Eusebius, Bishop of Cæsarea on the Theophania or Divine Manifestation of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: Translated Into English With Notes, From an Ancient Syriac Version of the Greek Original Now Lost; To Which Is Prefixed a Vindication of the Orthodoxy, and Prophetical Views, of That Distinguished WriterHaving now to discharge the very agreeable duty of pre senting to the Christian Church (in a translation), a long lost work of one of its most learned and laborious Pastors, my first duty will be, to give the best account I can of this Work; my second, to describe the Manuscript from which it has been taken my third, to lay down the principles by which I have been guided, both in editing the Syriac text of this Manuscript, and in making and illustrating my Eng lish Translation of it. When I shall have done these things, I shall, - because some of the opinions of my author have been branded as heretical, and some others will in all pro hability be considered as groundless and untenable, I mean those which contain his views on Prophecy, - give as brief and candid a review of these opinions as I can leaving it to the reader to make the conclusions for himself, which he shall deem right and just.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Eusebius and the Jewish Authors examines Eusebius of Caesarea’s use of non-biblical Jewish texts (e.g. Philo, Josephus, Aristobulus) in his Praeparatio evangelica and Demonstratio evangelica. In the first part, Sabrina Inowlocki looks at the citation process in Ancient Greek Literature and in Eusebius’ own double apologetic work. She also analyzes Eusebius’ conception of Judaism. The second part is devoted to a detailed study of Eusebius’ methodology in appropriating these texts from both a philological and a philosophical/theological perspective. Through the lens of his exploitation of Jewish quotations, this book defies the traditional perception of Eusebius as being a mere compiler and nuances the manner in which his presentation of the relation between Judaism and Christianity is often seen. This study will be very useful to readers interested in the reception of Jewish texts in Christian literature, in the relations between Judaism and Christianity, and in Christian apologetics. This translation was made possible through a generous grant from the Fondation Universitaire in Brussels.

This study cast s some light on Eusebius and his times by tracing, or trying to trace, modifications in his views as expressed in the Church History. Everyone agrees that such modficiations can be found in Books VIII-X. This study seesk to find them in the first seven books as well. It does not make much difference whether we are illuminating the first quater of the fourth century or, in addition, the last years of the third century. In either case our sources for the history of Christianity are so meagre that closer analysis can only prove helpful. And whether or not one agrees with every detail of the portrait of Eusebius that begins to emerge, it is at least a picture of a human being, neither a saint nor intentionally a scoundrel. Eusebius' work is imprortant not just because of the documents he used but because of the ways in which he used them. These ways illuminate the history of the Christian Church in one of its most important transitions, a transition in which Eusebius himself played a prominent part. -adapted from the concluding chapter
