  • Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History - Translated by C.F. Cruse. Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History is one of the classics of early Christianity & of equal stature with the works of Flavius Josephus. Eusebius chronicles the events of the first 3 centuries of the Christian church in such a way as to record a vast number of vital facts about early Christianity that can be learned from no other ancient source. When Eusebius wrote his Ecclesiastical History, his vital concern was to record facts before they disappeared, & before eye-witnesses were killed & libraries were burned & destroyed in persecutions by Rome. He faithfully transcribed the most important existing documents of his day so that future generations would have a collection of factual data to interpret. Thus Eusebius (c. A.D. 260-340) richly deserves the title “father of Church history”

Wallace has been visiting churches for the past few years, giving a short series on the history of the transmission of the New Testament--from the pens of the apostles to the printed page. The first part of the series shows how textual critics go about determining the original text from the 5,500 existing Greek manuscripts. It's an interactive exercise: The audience first takes on the role of ancient scribes, then modern textual critics: they actually create manuscripts that they later need to sift through, trying to get back to the original wording of the text. In two hours, lay folks get a very good feel for what textual criticism is all about
