Eusebius studied under Pamphilius (c. 240-309). a
Christian scholar and presbyter in the church at Caesarea. Pamphilius was an
ardent disciple of Origen and Eusebius became deeply influenced by the
Origenist tradition. His major work was his History of the Church, a
massive piece of research that preserves quotations from many older writers
that would otherwise have been lost. Despite the breadth of his reading most
scholars agree that "his erudition is not matched by clarity of thought or
attractiveness of presentation."[1] Perhaps urprisingly
Eusebius did not follow the extremes of Origen’s allegorical
interpretation.[2] Some writers note that just as Caesarea
lay halfway between Antioch and Alexandria, so Eusebius’ hermeneutic lay
midway between the traditions of those two cities.[3]
