"This work, the most important that has come down to us from Eusebius of Cesarea, and the most important of any, perhaps, that have came to us from the earlier Fathers of the Church, empbraces the events of the first three centuries, down to the time when Constantine became sole master of the Roman world. It is divided into ten book, in chronological order, and opens with a preliminary discourse, the matter of which is strictly theological..Here, then, we have a summary of Christian Doctrine in teh Primitive Church. In this connection also, Eusebius accounts for the seeming difficulty that the Gospel was not sooner introduced; or rather, why this Divine Dispensation was solong delayed. After this summary of Chritian Theology, commences what is perperly the object of the work-the History of the Church."--Christian Frederick Cruse.
