Excerpt from book: manner, not acknowledging his pre-existence, though he was God, the word and wisdom, they turned aside into the same irre- ligion, as with the former they evinced great zeal to observe the ritual service of the law. These, indeed, thought on the one hand that all the epistles of the apostles .ought to be rejected, calling him an apostate from the law, but on the other, only using the gospel according to the Hebrews, they esteem the others as of but little value. They also observe the Sabbath and other discipline of the Jews, just like them, but on the other hand, they also celebrate the Lord's days very much like us, in commemoration of his resurrection. Whence, in consequence of such a course, they have also received their epithet, the name of Ebion- ites, exhibiting the poverty of their intellect. For it is thus that the Hebrews call a poor man. CHAPTER XXVIII. Cerinthus the Heresiarch. About the same time, we have understood, appeared Cerinthus, the leader of another heresy. Caius, whose words we quoted above, in "The Disputation" attributed to him, writes thus respecting him : " But Cerinthus, by means of revelations which he pretended were written by a great apostle, also falsely pretended to wonderful things, as if they were showed him by angels, asserting, that after the resurrection there would be an earthly kingdom of Christ, and that the flesh, i. e. men, again inhabiting Jerusalem, would be subject to desires and pleasures. Being also an enemy to the divine Scriptures, with a view to deceive men, he said that there would be a space of a thousand years for celebrating nuptial festivals."

Great extras

Apart from the translation of the Ecclesiastical History this book comes also with letters and Canons of Nicaea (no not alternative Biblical canons if theres any conspiracy theorist reading this).
This book also commends itself with a fantastic "Introduction" "Annotations" as well as "A Historical View of the Council of Nicea".

Highly Informative History Of The Early Church From Eusebius Of Caesarea.
Rating (5)
Date: 2009-09-10
This history of the early church is a highly informative document, recording the first III centuries of history regarding the early church. Unfortunately, I only found Book 10, Chapter 4 to be slightly boring, as Eusebius launches into a panegyric on God. The rest was very, very, very interesting. I highly recommend this for history buffs and people stydying to become pastors, missionaries or Bible teachers.

Christian History
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-03-30
This book should be considered a must read for all Christians. There is too much ignorance among Christians and part of this ignorance is a lack of understanding of the early history of our religion. While Eusebius should not be considered the "end all be all" of that early history, he does provide some of the only accounts regarding documents that have been lost to history. He also shows that many heretical beliefs that have crept in to Christian belief already appeared in the first centuries of the Church.
