 Rating:  - Early churchTerrific book about the early church when church growth was the fastest and greatest it has ever been. Great service from the supplier and the book is just what I needed. Rating: - Faithful account of Christian churches from the first century to the thirdAs a Bishop who suffered for Christ's sake and honored another martyr of the faith, his Christian pastor-Bishop Pamphili, Eusebius' humble compilation of the many Christian historical accounts and writings that were available to most Christians around 250-330 a.d., is enlightening and wonderfully establishes the accounts of Christian faithfulness to the apostles and their trusted pastors whom they put in charge of various local churches around the world.

Now, Eusebius was not a great historian, and his work has been correctly criticized for a number of issues, most notably the rambling style that makes his work dull and lifeless for the modern reader. But, ... Read More Rating:  - Good Church HistoryIf you want to learn about the early days of the Christian Church, this is the book. Eusibius relates the facts concerning the church until his life (around 400ad). This is great as both an introduction to church history and as a capstone to better your understanding of the early church. Eusibus takes on the events from the life of Christ and the early apostles and the problems that faced the church to the Time of Constantine. He seems to explain things where much of the bible leaves off. He ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
