Eusebius of Caesarea (AD 260/265 - 339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Greek historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314 AD. Together with Saint Pamphilus of Caesarea (latter half of the 3rd century - 309), he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as an extremely welllearned Christian of his time. He wrote Demonstrations of the Gospel, Preparations for the Gospel, and On Discrepancies between the Gospels, studies of the Biblical text. As "Father of Church History" he produced the Ecclesiastical History, On the Life of Pamphilus, the Chronicle and On the Martyr. (Wikipedia).
