Eusebius of Caesarea: Gospel Problems and Solutions
Ever since the four gospels were first collected together, Christians have asked why they diverge in some respects. Why is the genealogy in Matthew different to that in Luke? Why is there more than one ending for Mark? In 320 AD Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, wrote one of the first collections of such 'questions' and gave scholarly answers to them. Because of his early date, his answers are of great interest to scholars and general readers alike.This volume is the first ever translation into English of this work. It includes the Greek text printed in the Sources Chr tiennes edition, and also fragments of the Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic and Arabic versions in medieval bible commentaries. Text and translation are presented on facing pages for ease of reference.

On the Edge of Eternity
"On the Edge of Eternity overturns the paradigm of the eighteenth-century discovery of geological time, showing that the antiquity of our planet was a widespread and culturally acceptable notion in pre-1800 Europe. In this ground-breaking study, Ivano Dal Prete brings to life a long-forgotten world, in which the biblical story of the creation and of the Flood was only one among many doctrines that could be freely taught and discussed. University scholars and students, artists like Leonardo da Vinci, and the readers of easily accessible vernacular books, envisaged, painted, and debated an ageless Earth scarred by innumerable deluges, raised and submerged continents, annihilated and resurgent humanities. Rather than discover deep time, the eighteenth century erased its rich and complex history, replacing it with a simplistic account that suited its political agendas and still informs our culture. On the Edge of Eternity invites the reader to revisit engrained beliefs on the relationship of science and religion, the history of the Earth sciences, and the cultural assumptions that have underpinned the modern controversy on young Earth creationism"--
