 Eusebius of Caesarea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eusebius of Caesarea (~275 – May 30, 339) (often called Eusebius Pamphili, "Eusebius [the friend] of Pamphilus") was a bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and is often referred to as the father of church history because of his work in recording the history of the early Christian church.
He was in Caesarea when Agapius was bishop and became friendly with Pamphilus of Caesarea, with whom he seems to have studied the text of the Bible, with the aid of Origen's Hexapla, and commentaries collected by Pamphilus, in an attempt to prepare a correct version.
Pamphilus and Eusebius occupied themselves with the text criticism of the Septuagint text of the Old Testament and especially of the New Testament.

Eusebius is defending the Gospel of a divine Christ; the merely human Christ is One Whose character implies the divine as well; and He is the source and stay of moral progress.
As Harnack says : "Eusebius was more convinced than Origen that the idea of deity was completely exhausted in that of the strictly one and unchangeable ον the πρωτη ουσια; he separated the δευτερος θεος much further from God than the Apologists."
Here alluding to a mass of evidential literature he proposes to reject "all deceitful and sophistical plausibilities" in favour of the evidence of the fulfilment of the Jewish prophecies in Christ, and the developing life of His Church.

 Theology Today - Vol 20, No. 3 - October 1963 - BOOK REVIEW - Eusebius Of Caesarea
Clearer than his theology is Eusebius' view of history, in which he saw the pure monotheism of the patriarchs restored by the mission of the Logos, crowned by the victory of the Church and the coming of a Christian Emperor.
Still even the sympathetic student of Eusebius cannot present him as a great religious figure, and Wallace-Hadrill's summary contains such phrases as "vastly learned, wholly lacking in delicacy.
If he assumed that the pax Romana had brought lasting harmony to the civilized world-greater minds in the fourth century shared this limitation of political insight.

 THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF EUSEBIUS OF CAESAREA, CHAPTERS II & III
That the composition of a history of the Church was Eusebius' own idea, and was not due to any suggestion from without, seems clear, both from the absence of reference to any one else as prompting it, and from the lack of a dedication at the beginning of the work.
That Eusebius himself was the author of the original cannot be doubted.
The former is directed against heathen, and aims to show that the Christians are justified in accepting the sacred books of the Hebrews and in rejecting the religion and philosophy of the Greeks.

 OUP: Eusebius of Caesarea's Commentary on Isaiah: Hollerich
It is thus an important witness to Eusebius' thinking on the Bible, the church, and the empire at a critical moment in his life and in the history of Christianity.
It also proposes that the commentary's focus on the `godly polity', meaning above all the church and its clergy, is a valuable corrective to interpretations of Eusebius' theology based too exclusively on the Constantinian literature.
His Commentary on Isaiah, rediscovered in nearly complete form only this century, was written shortly after the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the unification of the empire under Constantine.
