About this listen

Often called the "Father of Church History", Eusebius was the first to trace the rise of Christianity during its crucial first three centuries from Christ to Constantine. Our principal resource for earliest Chrisitianity, The Church History presents a panorama of apostles, church fathers, emperors, bishops, heroes, heretics, confessors, and martyrs.

This audiobook edition includes Paul L. Maier's clear and precise translation, historical commentary on each book in The Church History, and numerous maps, illustrations, and photographs. These features promise to liberate Eusebius from previous outdated and stilted works, creating a new standard primary resource for listeners interested in the early history of Christianity.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fascinating

Was an amazing trip down histories corridors.
I was well pleased with the writers style and treatment of the content. His footnotes were an excellent guide and context to understanding Eusebius, the man, and his day. I'm also grateful to the people who reviewed this work before I sat for a listen, because they explained/ and warned how the narration flowed too seamlessly, from the original author, to the modern authors footnotes. I was forewarned, and because of that, was more able to detect where the narration changed from quote to explaination.
You need be on your toes about that. The narrators voice and tempo were very good to listen to. What I think of it all is that I have a desire to relisten to the whole thing, to better set it in my memory. Someday,, too much that's new to sacrifice the time at present.
