Excerpt from Ecclesiastical History: A History of the Church in Nine Books, From A. D. 324 to A. D. 440; With a Memoir of the Author

Having now shown that the Hebrews, although in the possession of numerous and most distinct prophecies con cerning the coming of Christ, were less willing than the Greeks to embrace the faith that is in Him, let what has been said on the subject suffice. Yet let it by no means be hence accounted contrary to reason that the church should have been mainly built up by the conversion of other nations for, in the first place, it is evident that, in divine and great affairs, God delights to bring to pass changes in a marvellous manner; and then, be it remem bered, it was by the exercise of no common virtues that those who, at the very beginning, were at the head of religious affairs, maintained their in?uence. If they did not, indeed, possess resplendent gifts of eloquence, nor the power of convincing their hearers by means of ma thematical demonstration, yet they accomplished the work they had undertaken. They gave up their pro perty, neglected their kindred, were stretched upon a cross, and, as if endowed with bodies not their own, suf fered divers excruciating tortures; neither seduced by the adulation of the rulers and people of any city, nor terrified by their menaces, they clearly evidenced by their conduct that they were supported in the struggle by the hope of a high reward. So that they, in fact, needed not to resort to verbal arguments; for without any effort on their part, their very deeds constrained the inhabitants of every city and of every house to give credit to their tes timony even before they knew wherein it consisted.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the early Christian church through the lens of its most influential historians. The author delves into the lives and writings of key figures like Eusebius, Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret, who chronicled the church's growth and development during the first six centuries of the Christian era. You'll gain a rich understanding of the turbulent times of persecution, the emergence of monasticism, and the profound impact of Constantine's conversion to Christianity on the Roman Empire. The book also examines the theological controversies that shaped early Christianity, particularly the Arian heresy and the debates surrounding the nature of Christ. It provides invaluable insights into the development of Christian doctrine, the role of councils in shaping church authority, and the interactions between the church and the state in the ancient world. By comparing the accounts of different historians, the author reveals the complexities of interpreting early Christian history and underscores the importance of considering diverse perspectives. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and nuanced exploration of a pivotal period in the history of Christianity, illuminating the foundations of the church we know today.
