Eusebius -- The Church History

Well styled, "The Father of Church History," Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, was the first to write a history of Christianity during its crucial first three centuries from Christ to Constantine. Dr. Paul Maier has now provided a fresh translation of this important work from Eusebius' Greek, added a helpful commentary, and included over 150 photographs of the sites mentioned by Eusebius, as well as charts, maps and indexes. Published by Kregel, Inc., which brought out Maier's previous book in this series, Josephus - The Essential Works, Eusebius - The Church History answers such questions as:

- Whatever happened to the apostle in later life?

- Did Peter ever get to Rome?

- What happened to St. Paul after the Book of Acts ends with Chapter 28?

- Why were the Christians tormented so horribly in the Roman persecutions?

- What internal problems and heresies did the church face?

Like his book on Josephus, Maier's Eusebius is over 400 pages and magnificently illustrated.
