In the early centuries of Christianity, a few remarkable figures preserved the story of a faith that was transforming the ancient world.

One of the most important among them was Eusebius of Caesarea.

Historian, bishop, and witness to one of the most dramatic turning points in Christian history, Eusebius gathered documents, letters, and testimonies that allow us to understand how the Christian movement grew from a persecuted minority to a religion recognized by the Roman Empire.

Living through the brutal persecutions of the early fourth century and the unexpected rise of Emperor Constantine, Eusebius stood at the crossroads of two worlds: the age of the martyrs and the age of imperial Christianity.

In this accessible and engaging biography, Jonathan Domingo explores:

• The final great persecution under Emperor Diocletian
• The intellectual world of the early Christian church
• The remarkable library of Caesarea and its influence on Christian scholarship
• The rise of Constantine and the legalization of Christianity
• The complex relationship between faith and imperial power
• The theological controversies that shaped the early church
• The enduring legacy of the man known as the Father of Church History

Drawing from ancient sources and the surviving writings of Eusebius himself, this book brings to life a pivotal moment in the history of Christianity.

It is the story of a historian who preserved the memory of the early church—and whose work still shapes how we understand the first centuries of the Christian faith.
