Sometimes called the "Christian Herodotus" and often referred to as the "Father of ecclesiastical history," Eusebius (A.D. 263-339) has earned legitimate fame as the historian of Christian antiquity. An intimate friend of the Emperor Constantine, the Greek Bishop Eusebius wrote the only surviving account of the church during its crucial first 300 years. - Jacket flap.
