Final Exam Study Question I asks you to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of Eusebius as a historian. We'll eventually be reading through much of his Church History, so, if you do the readings, you'll have a fairly easy time with the question.
I would appreciate it if you would skim the first two books (not chapters) of Eusebius of Caesarea's History of the Church for Thursday class (April 2). Read more carefully the first two pages and a few passages that particularly get your attention.
In my view, a good history should be interesting. Do Books I and II meet this standard? What do you find interesting in these books? Does Eusebius ever lose your attention? If so, why?
Please bring the Eusebius book to class with you for the next several sessions.
