by Eusebius of Caesarea

Eusebius of Caesarea or Eusebius Pamphili, c.263­339?, Greek apologist and church historian was born in Palestine. He was bishop of Caesarea on the Sea, Palestine (314?­339). In the controversy over Arianism, Eusebius favored the semi-Arian views of Eusebius of Nicomedia, and he once gave refuge to Arius. A simple baptismal creed submitted by Eusebius at the First Council of Nicaea (325) formed the basis of what became known as the Nicean Creed. His works include a universal history entitled the Chronicle, the Ecclesiastical History, and the apologetic works Praeparatio Evangelica and Demonstratio Evangelica.
