  • Scripture and a Christian Empire

    Michael J Hollerich, Michael Hollerich et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Early…2019

    The chapter examines the role of scriptural interpretation in both rationalizing and criticizing the rise of a Christian empire. Special attention is given to Eusebius of Caesarea and his grand vision of the providential union of Church and empire, key biblical elements of which are the discrediting of apocalyptic, the historical fulfilment of prophecy, and the supersession of Judaism. A ‘Eusebius consensus’ became widespread, even on the empire’…

  • Eusebius of Caesarea’s Commentary on Isaiah

    Michael J HollerichBOOKEusebius of Caesarea's Commentary…1999

    Eusebius of Caesarea (d. 339), bishop, church historian, and biographer of Constantine, is the major Christian witness to the Constantinian settlement. Despite his importance, his biblical exegesis has not received the attention it deserves. His Commentary on Isaiah, rediscovered in nearly complete form only this century, was written shortly after the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the unification of the empire under Constantine. It is thus an impo…

  • Religion and Politics in the Writings of Eusebius

    Open AccessMichael J HollerichARTICLEChurch History1990References: 7

    Ever since Jacob Burckhardt dismissed him as "the first thoroughly dishonest historian of antiquity," Eusebius has been an inviting target for students of the Constantinian era. At one time or another they have characterized him as a political propagandist, a good courtier, the shrewd and worldly adviser of the Emperor Constantine, the great publicist of the first Christian emperor, the first in a long succession of ecclesiastical politicians, th…

  • Myth and History in Eusebius's De vita Constantini

    Open AccessMichael J HollerichARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1989

    The opening chapters of Eusebius's De vita Constantini contain several comparisons of Constantine with great figures from the past. The first two, Cyrus and Alexander ( Vit. Const . 1.7-8), are predictable names in a work that bears many features of conventional royal panegyric. But Eusebius's choice of Moses for a third comparison ( Vit. Const . 1.12) departs from conventional norms and shows that the subject of his bios is not going to be measu…
