Eusebius of Caesarea
(260?-340?), theologian, church historian, and scholar, probably born in
Palestine. Eusebius also collaborated with Pamphilus on an edition of the
Septuagint
from the text in the Hexapla of the early Christian writer Origen, and
in the preparation of an apology (means a defense of what he had written,
the five books of which are now 'lost') for Origen's teachings. After the
martyrdom of Pamphilus, Eusebius left Caesarea for Tyre. At the beginning
of the 4th century he fled Tyre during the persecutions of Christians.
He became bishop
of Caesarea. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D where a final version
of what was to become our modern Holy Bible was to be settled. Eusebius
delivered the opening address and was made the leader of the Semi-Arians,
the moderate party, who were averse to discussing the nature of the Trinity
and preferred the simple language of the Scriptures to the subtleties of
metaphysical distinctions. Eusebius stood in high favor with Constantine
the Great, emperor of Rome, and was one of the most learned men of his
time.
Apart from his historical writings, Eusebius was
responsible for the Eusebian Canons, a system of cross-references to the
Gospels employed in many biblical manuscripts. He wrote a history of the
world until 303 A.D. and a history of the Christian church until 324 A.D..Comprised
