Résumé Extrait Résumé des informations

The paper delves into the actions of early Christian bishops, the persecution faced by converts from paganism, and the challenges encountered in spreading Christianity. Eusebius meticulously chronicles the first 300 years of Christianity, culminating in the Edict of Milan in 313, which granted Christians religious freedom within the Roman Empire.

The introduction highlights Asia Minor's significance as a hub for early Christianity, hosting pivotal councils, influential clergy, and the genesis of Christian foundations. Eusebius' seminal work, "The Church History," serves as a crucial historical account of early Christianity, aiming to chronicle the apostolic successions and major events in Church history. Beyond mere historical narrative, Eusebius also aims to expose and critique those who deviated from orthodox beliefs, portraying them as disruptive forces within the Christian community.

Despite praising Eusebius' wisdom, the introduction acknowledges criticisms of his work, particularly regarding the lack of evidence and stylistic confusion. While Eusebius' contributions to early Christian history are invaluable, his limitations as a historian are not overlooked, providing a balanced perspective on his legacy.
