Book Reviews of Eusebius: The Church History

Book Review: A Look at Early Christianity
Summary: 4 Stars

As a non-intellectual, non historian and non theologian I found Eusebius's "The Church History" rather fascinating. Not so much for the historical detail of the times, places and significant individuals involved in the expansion of Christianity from Christ's death to about the year 300, but how the author, Eusebius of Caesarea, 260-339 AD neutrally documented known facts and events of the relatively recent events that occurred in the 270 years prior to authoring this historical record.
Contradicting "traditional beliefs" that developed over the centuries and became the norm inside the established western church was not Eusebius's intent. Neither is it mine. On the other hand, when you read Eusebius's unbiased account of the early days of Christianity, you must honestly wonder why some practices, that are historically inaccurate remain unquestioned today within the "organized church."
If you are interested in knowing more about the early events and people that shaped Christianity shortly after Christ's completion of His work of salvation here on earth, you may want to pick up this 300+ page book... even if you skip some of the "boring" sections.
