Eusebius, from about AD 314 a bishop of Caesarea Maritima in Palestine, was a Church historian and an exegete. His most important work was "Ecclesiastical History " , in which he covers the history of the Church from the beginnings to his times. The work was probably started about the time of the Diocletianic persecution, and eventually finished by AD 324.
