尤西比乌斯的神学历史观初探

A Study of Theology Historical View of Eusebius

尤西比乌斯的神学历史观是西方基督教史学的重要理论基础之一。他的线性时间观证明历史是单向的、不断向前发展的;他对广大地域的记述及其"基督教民族"观折射出早期的世界史概念;他关于历史分阶段发展的思想推翻了循环历史观和静止历史观,指出历史是一个不断发展的过程。尤西比乌斯的历史观深受基督教影响,强调人类的历史就是基督教会反对异端邪说、捍卫基督真理并最终走向救赎的历史。

The theology historical view of Eusebius is one of the important elements of Western Christian Historiography.His linear-time shows that history is not circular and repeating but developmental;his idea of ＂Christian Nation＂ reflects a primary conception of world history;his ＂historical trichotomy＂proves that everything happened in the Christian history is arranged and controlled by God.Under such theology historical view,Eusebius proved to both seculars and heretics by his The Ecclesiastical History that： human history is just that of Christian Church opposing to heresy,that of defending Christian truth,and that of salvation.
