Church Histories
Hey friends I just ordered Eusebius's church history. Can someone tell me what the other earliest church histories that are still preserved and I can buy? Thanks!

There were several, and what's more, they're free!winningedge101 wrote:Hey friends I just ordered Eusebius's church history. Can someone tell me what the other earliest church histories that are still preserved and I can buy? Thanks!
In The Podium, look at my posts regarding a series of translations of The Nicene & Post Nicene Fathers (NPNF), series II. There are no links, but I downloaded the relevant volumes as PDF files from CCEL.org so I know they are there.
Good luck!

Re: Church Histories
For the ante-Nicene period, the best you can really do is to cross-reference Eusebius against the texts likely to have been written earlier.
There are other authors, but they generally just build on Eusebius and focus their own efforts on later periods.
But there is also a sneaky way to get more of "Eusebius": look at Jerome's Chronicon. It's based on the one Eusebius made (pre-325), but we don't have that one anymore.
