Eusebius ' description of his own method —" I shall collect the entries from the whole of the divinely inspired Scriptures, and I shall set them out grouped by their initial letters so that one may easily perceive what lies scattered throughout the text "— implies that he had no similar type of book to work from ; his work was entirely original, based only on the text of the Bible.

However, James ' successor as leader of the Jerusalem church, Simeon, is not, in tradition, appointed till after the siege of Jerusalem in AD 70, and Eusebius ' notice of Simeon implies a date for the death of James immediately before the siege, i. e. about AD 69.

Dionysius counts Firmilian as one of " the more eminent bishops " in a letter to Pope Stephen I ( Eusebius, VII, v, 1 ), where his expression " Firmilian and all Cappadocia " implies that Caesarea was already a metropolitan see.

At that meeting, Eusebius of Nicomedia and the other supporters of Arius deposed Athanasius.

Support for Arius from powerful bishops like Eusebius of Caesarea and Eusebius of Nicomedia, further illustrate how Arius ' subordinationist Christology was shared by other Christians in the Empire.

In fact, Origen would have possibly included in his list of “ inspired writings ” other texts which were kept out by the likes of Eusebius, including the Epistle of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, and 1 Clement.

" In the longer text of the Martyrs of Palestine, chapter 12, Eusebius states: " I think it best to pass by all the other events which occurred in the meantime: such as [...] the lust of power on the part of many, the disorderly and unlawful ordinations, and the schisms among the confessors themselves ; also the novelties which were zealously devised against the remnants of the Church by the new and factious members, who added innovation after innovation and forced them in unsparingly among the calamities of the persecution, heaping misfortune upon misfortune.

When asked by Constantia ( Emperor Constantine's sister ) for an image of Jesus, Eusebius denied the request, replying that " To depict purely the human form of Christ before its transformation, on the other hand, is to break the commandment of God and to fall into pagan error ".

However, the account of Josephus differs from that of later works by Hegesippus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, and Eusebius of Caesarea that it simply has James stoned while the others have other variations such as having James thrown from the top of the Temple, stoned, and finally beaten to death by laundrymen as well as his death occurring during the siege of Jerusalem in AD 69.

In fact, Origen would have possibly included in his list of " inspired writings " other texts which were kept out by the likes of Eusebius, including the Epistle of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, and 1 Clement.

Eusebius writes to other bishops, and when Arius is condemned in September Eusebius gives him safe haven and sponsors a synod at Bithynia in October which nullifies Arius's excommunication ( see Council of Nicaea, 325 AD ).

A fragment of a letter from Irenæus to Pope Victor I during the Easter controversy in the late 2nd century, also preserved by Eusebius, testifies that Telesphorus was one of the Roman bishops who always celebrated Easter on Sunday, rather than on other days of the week according to the calculation of the Jewish Passover.

Eusebius, on the other hand says his reign was only 10 months.

Origen is reported by Eusebius to have castrated himself based on his reading of the Gospel of Matthew and other passages in Matthew and Mark that appear to endorse voluntary amputation to avoid sin, although there is some doubt concerning this story.

Eusebius ( 325 ), although he mentions an Acta Pilati that had been referred to by Justin and Tertullian and other pseudo-Acts of this kind, shows no acquaintance with this work.

This catacomb's most ancient parts are the crypt of Lucina, the region of the Popes and the region of Saint Cecilia, where some of the most sacred memories of the place are preserved ( including the crypt of the Popes, the crypt of Saint Cecilia, and the crypt of the Sacraments ); the other regions are named the region of Saint Gaius and the region of Saint Eusebius ( end of the 3rd century ), West region ( built in the first half of the 4th century ) and the Liberian region ( second half of the 4th century ), all showing grandiose underground architecture.

In the region of Saints Gaius and Eusebius are some crypts set apart, opposite each other, with the tombs of Pope Gaius ( with an inscription ) and Pope Eusebius, who died in Sicily where he had been exiled by Maxentius and whose body was translated to Rome during the pontificate of Militiades ; on a marble copy of the end of the 4th century ( of which fragments may be seen on the opposite wall ) may be read of an inscription by Damasus on the schism provoked by Heraclius over the matter of the lapsi.

This is implied by Dionysius, bishop of Alexandria in the mid-3rd century, who stated that " at no time other than the spring equinox is it legitimate to celebrate Easter " ( Eusebius, Church History 7. 20 ); and by Anatolius of Alexandria ( quoted in Eusebius, Church History 7. 32 ) who declared it a " great mistake " to set the Paschal lunar month when the sun is in the twelfth sign of the zodiac.

Although his work appears to have been well-known and influential, mention of him by other early Christian apologists, notably in the extensive writings of Eusebius, is strangely absent.

However, they sent three -- Syriacus, Eusebius and Priscian -- with a synodal letter to Pope Damasus I, archbishop Saint Ambrose and the other bishops assembled in the council at Rome.

This subject had been discussed for decades before his advent ; Arius merely intensified the controversy and carried it to a Church-wide audience, where other " Arians " such as Eusebius of Nicomedia would prove much more influential in the long run.

On June 19, 325, council and emperor issued a circular to the churches in and around Alexandria: Arius and two of his unyielding partisans ( Theonas and Secundus ) were deposed and exiled to Illyricum, while three other supporters — Theognis of Nicaea, Eusebius of Nicomedia and Maris of Chalcedon — affixed their signatures solely out of deference to the emperor.

Eusebius, however, speaks of the zeal which he and the other chief shepherds displayed in driving away the heretics who were attacking Christ's flock, with special mention of his work against Marcion.

Bede's monastery had access to a superb library which included works by Eusebius and Orosius among many others.

He had access to two works of Eusebius: the Historia Ecclesiastica, and also the Chronicon, though he had neither in the original Greek ; instead he had a Latin translation of the Historia, by Rufinus, and Saint Jerome's translation of the Chronicon.

We know the titles of several lost works because of a list in Eusebius ' Ecclesiastical History.

Eusebius is the first writer to provide an account of Clement's life and works, in the Church History.

Eusebius provides a list of Clement's works, biographical information, and an extended quotation from the Stromata.

Eusebius ' own surviving works probably only represent a small portion of his total output.

Eusebius ' Preparation for the Gospel bears witness to the literary tastes of Origen: Eusebius quotes no comedy, tragedy, or lyric poetry, but makes reference to all the works of Plato and to an extensive range of later philosophic works, largely from Middle Platonists from Philo to the late 2nd century.

All of the exegetical works of Eusebius have suffered damage in transmission.

Notwithstanding the great influence of his works on others, Eusebius was not himself a great historian.

* Opera Omnia by Migne Patrologia Graeca with analytical indexes complete Greek text of Eusebius ' works

All these works are attested by Eusebius.

The earliest secure reference to this passage is found in the writings of the fourth-century Christian apologist and historian Eusebius, who used Josephus ' works extensively as a source for his own Historia Ecclesiastica.

Another example of the textual arguments against the Testimonium is that it uses the Greek term poietes to mean " doer " ( as part of the phrase " doer of wonderful works ") but elsewhere in his works, Josephus only uses the term poietes to mean " poet ," whereas this use of " poietes " seems consistent with the Greek of Eusebius.

Even after Eusebius ' 324 AD reference, it is not until Jerome's De Viris Illustribus ( c. 392 AD ) that the passage from Josephus is referenced again, even though the Testimoniums reference to Jesus would seem appropriate in the works of many intervening patristic authors.

Alice Whealy, who supports the partial authenticity of the Testimonium, has rejected the arguments by Kenneth Olson regarding the total fabrication of the Testimonium by Eusebius, stating that Olson's analysis includes inaccurate readings of both the works of Josephus and Eusebius, as well as logical flaws in his argument.

Eusebius of Caesarea deals with him at some length, and names the following works:

After Rufinus, Justin was known mainly from St Irenaeus and Eusebius or from spurious works.

Joseph is referenced in apocryphal and non-canonical accounts such as the Acts of Pilate, a text often appended to the medieval Gospel of Nicodemus and The Narrative of Joseph, and mentioned in the works of early church historians such as Irenaeus ( 125 – 189 ), Hippolytus ( 170 – 236 ), Tertullian ( 155 – 222 ) and Eusebius ( 260 – 340 ), who added details not found in the canonical accounts.
