The fascinating story of the early Christians by the church's first historian

Some of The following is from the back cover of the book: Eusebius of Caesarea (c .A.D.260-339) wrote ten books that preserve the early history of the brave martyrs, the dauntless defenders of the faith, and even those who renounced their faith in the face of persecution. For decades, however, his crucial work has been shackled to stilted and outdated translations that obscured the rich legacy of the early church. Renowned historian Dr. Paul I. Maier has created a new dynamic, contemporary English translation that remains faithful to the original Greek text but liberates Eusebius's work from its literary chains, creating an accessible resource for anyone, lay or professional. who is interested in the early history of Christianity. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I enjoyed reading the early church's history and the knowledge gained from this reading—the persecution and martyrdom of the early Christians. I think this is a good book for all Christians and non-Christians interested in the history of the early church. It is a book that is filled with the history of that era which I found very interesting.
