Eusebius of Caesarea, often called the “Father of Church History,” provides in his Church History (Historia Ecclesiastica) an unparalleled chronicle of Christianity from its apostolic beginnings through the early fourth century. Divided into ten books, the work traces the lineage of church leadership, recounts the heroic witness of martyrs, and details the theological debates and heretical movements that shaped the early Church. Eusebius emphasizes continuity, linking bishops and teachers directly to the apostles, while also preserving documents, letters, and accounts otherwise lost to history.
 
The narrative moves from the challenges faced by early Christians under Roman persecution to the transformative reign of Emperor Constantine, who brought Christianity into imperial favor. Alongside historical events, Eusebius records the cultural and social context of the Church, including sacred sites, notable figures, and examples of pious devotion. His careful documentation and reliance on primary sources make the work both a historical record and a testimony of faith.
A
ccessible yet authoritative, Church History remains an essential resource for understanding the development of Christian thought, practice, and community in its formative centuries.
