About this listen

Often called the "Father of Church History", Eusebius was the first to trace the rise of Christianity during its crucial first three centuries from Christ to Constantine. Our principal resource for earliest Chrisitianity, The Church History presents a panorama of apostles, church fathers, emperors, bishops, heroes, heretics, confessors, and martyrs.

This audiobook edition includes Paul L. Maier's clear and precise translation, historical commentary on each book in The Church History, and numerous maps, illustrations, and photographs. These features promise to liberate Eusebius from previous outdated and stilted works, creating a new standard primary resource for listeners interested in the early history of Christianity.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Whilst mellifluous, having a single narrator for both author and commentator can sometimes be confusing.
That said I, a lay person, have found this educational, accessible and inspiring.

A second narrator helpful?

In my opinion, this audiobook has only one flaw, but it's a massive one.

The narrator is continually switching seamlessly between the actual text and the footnotes, to such an extent that it's sometimes difficult to tell which is which.

It only needed an additional narrator, or even using the word 'note.' before reading a footnote, but no.

I really can't recommend this at all.

Absolutely not recommended.
