Greg Lundgren Reader Response Eusebius of Caesarea Part One These works by Eusebius, the Bishop of Caesarea and the first Church historian, are excerpts from Book 8 of his most famous work Ecclesiastical History and another work entitled The Life of Constantine. Both works were written over a period of several years during the first few decades of the 4th century in between the start of the Great Persecution, during the reign of Constantine, and prior to the death of Eusebius in 339 A.D. The literary form of Ecclesiastical History is a historical account of the early roots of Christianity up until the time of Eusebius with Book 8 detailing The Great Persecution specifically, while the literary form of The Life of Constantine is a biography about the life and rule of Constantine. It can be inferred that the audience of both works were all followers of Christianity at the time as well as Christians for centuries to come since their purposes were to both record the history of the Church which had not been yet accounted for as well as to inform current and future Christians of how the Church got its start, major events that shaped the religion, and also to pay tribute to the early defenders and champions of the Church. Part Two Book 8 of Ecclesiastical History begins with an account of the condition of Christianity prior to The Great Persecution, the relationship between the Church and the empire, and what attitudes and actions led to the commencement of the persecution.

It has three main parts the entrance portico, the domed rotunda (vault), and the connection between the two (Parker, 2009). It was originally a temple for all pagan gods and converted into a church in 609 (Ermengem, 2013). The Portico consists of sixteen columns weighing 60 tons, each column supports a pediment with an inscription attributing the Pantheon to Marcus Agrippa. And the dome has an opening called the oculus which is the only source of light (Ermengem, 2013). In order to create this a circular trench for the rotunda’s foundation and a rectangular trench for the portico were dug, then lined with wood and layered with pozzolana cement.

During the 6th century, Arabia had two powerful neighbours: the Byzantine empire and the Sassanian empire. The Byzantine empire was Christian and its capital was Constantinople which is now the city of Istanbul in Turkey.
