37:29Now PlayingWhere should someone start studying church history? Many people jump straight to Augustine, the Creeds, or the Councils — but the real starting point is with Eusebius of Caesarea, the first great historian of the Church.
In this episode of The FACTS Podcast with Dr. Stephen Boyce, we explore:
• Who Eusebius was and why he matters.
• How his Ecclesiastical History preserves documents we would otherwise have lost.
• Why he gives the best “map” of Christianity from the apostles to Constantine.
• How to read him critically, seeing both his strengths and biases.
• A recommended pathway for continuing after Eusebius with the Apostolic Fathers, Apologists, and Nicene defenders.
If you’ve ever asked, “Where should I begin my study of church history?” — this is the episode for you.
