Product Description: Suppose you are part of a people whose origins go back to around the 1690’s, almost a century before America was an independent nation. You are selected to tell in detail the story of your people. But there are problems. Your people were a despised and illegal group for most of that time. In fact, there were at least two full-scale government sponsored persecutions intended to exterminate your people. Many key leaders were captured and killed and their precious books burned. They had no official standing, no public festivals, no monuments built to commemorate your community. (The records for an oppressed minority are not usually easy to come by.) And to make your task more challenging, your people spread over most of the known world, living and growing within diverse cultures. Now then, how do you possibly put together the story? That is the kind of task Eusebius took on. Finally, peace had come to the church after Constantine became emperor. Now the story could be told. Eusebius was the one for the job. He had already prepared a chronology of the Bible and early church, trying to establish the dates of Christ's death and church events which followed. This was a difficult undertaking because many different calendars were in use at the time and he had to correlate events recorded under one system to events recorded under others.
