Eusebius

Eusebius has been described as follows: Jacob Burckhardt (19th century cultural historian) dismissed Eusebus as “the first thoroughly dishonest historian of antiquity”. He has been also described as ” a political theologian”. He favored doctoring his history in his own words to “be useful first to ourselves and afterwards to posterity”. Edward Gibbon (18th century historian-“The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”) dismissed his testimony on the number of martyrs and impugned his honesty”. Most scholars, even today, are ignorant about Eusebius lying and forging for religious purposes.
