However, the nominal price of this new paperback edition should make it an item for every pastor and pastoral student to own and read. That edition included over 150 color pictures and was formatted in a slightly larger font with heavier paper.
A hard back edition of Maier’s book was published-also by Kregel-almost a decade ago. With almost 40 black-and-white photographs and almost a dozen maps, readers are introduced to key elements associated with the first three centuries of the Christian era. Kregel is to be commended for this paperback edition. As Maier notes, he has tried to make Eusebius “readable and usable today.” In doing so, Maier broke up longer sentences or removed excessive verbiage which added nothing to Eusebius’s theological point or chronological narrative. Yet, this is more than merely a retranslation of earlier more cumbersome English versions. Reviewed by Timothy Maschke, Concordia University Wisconsin, Mequon, WI.Įusebius’s Ecclesiastical History is now available in a most accessible format with Paul Maier’s updated translation of this classic work.
