What We're Reading
In this section we hope to highlight a good book that one of the CCEL staff or someone else is reading.
I've never read a book quite like The Church History of Eusebius before. It's not simply a history book, or a book written by a Church father; it's both. By being so close to the events he records, Eusebius provides an interesting perspective on them. Furthermore, his Church History is intriguing for its abilities to provide an edifying history of the Early Church. I've learned much from it, and am glad to have discovered it.
