thc first 3 ccnturics of thc Christian church in such a way as to record a vast numbcr of vital facts about early Christianity that can be learned from no other ancient source. When Eusebius wrote his Ecclesiastical His tory, his vital eoncern was to record facts before they disappeared, & before eye-witnesses were killed & libraries were bumed & destroyed in persecutions by Romę. He faithfully transcribed the most iniportant cxisting documents of his day so that futurę generations would have a coilection of factuai data to interpret. Thus Eusebius (c. A.D. 260-340) richb deserves the title “father of Church history"
