• Wikipedia has a whole article about Eusebius, and the opening sentence tells us about him:
• “Eusebius of Caesarea (A.D. 260/265 – 339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Roman historian, exegete, and Christian polemicist of Greek descent. He became the bishop of Caesarea about 314. Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as an extremely well learned Christian of his time.”
• Eusebius, therefore, is acknowledged as an extremely well learned and respected Christian, and one of his specialities was in the Biblical canon. Living much closer to those times than we do now, if anyone ought to know how the Bible was handed down by the apostles, it was surely him.
