- This book attempts a new, comprehensive reading of Eusebius' 'Ecclesiastical History' (a long work in ten books). It required an extensive review of early Christian literature and history and the wider landscape of Graeco-Roman first to third century history and literature. It's thematic chapters on intellectuals, the family, asceticism, and martyrdom each required immersion in a large corpus of ancient Christian and non-Christian works treating that subject, as well as cottage industries of scholarship. The book took 10 years (2009-19, is 346 pages (c150000 words, maximum the Press allowed), with a 37 page bibliography (c.650 items).
