Can Christians Accept Evolution? What Eusebius Can Tell Us
Christians were arguing against naturalistic accounts of origins long before Darwin. Eusebius preserved Christian attacks on eternal matter, atomism, chance, and a picture of primitive humanity that sounds surprisingly familiar. Origen, Philo, Basil, and Augustine point toward a doctrine of special creation much closer to young-earth creationism than evolutionary creation.

The Christian Bishop Who Saved the Pagan Books He Wanted to Defeat
Eusebius wanted pagan writers to testify against pagan religion and philosophy. His argument was openly Christian and often severe, but his habit of quoting opponents at length preserved portions of books that no longer survive.

The Book of Enoch Is Important Precisely Because It Isn’t Scripture
Christians often treat the Book of Enoch as either suppressed Scripture or useless apocrypha. Both approaches miss what makes the book so valuable. Enoch can illuminate the world of the Bible without becoming the Bible.

Fallen Angels Taught Makeup? What the Church Fathers Actually Learned From Enoch
Early Christians did more with the Book of Enoch than speculate about giants. They used its Watcher story to explain cosmetics, weapons, magic, astrology, demons, idolatry, and the corruption of pagan culture.

Tertullian Called the Book of Enoch Scripture. Why Didn’t the Church Follow Him?
Tertullian did more than quote the Book of Enoch. He called it Scripture, defended its inspiration, answered objections to its transmission, and appealed to Jude. His argument deserves to be taken seriously.

Jude Quotes Enoch. Does That Make the Book of Enoch Scripture?
Jude does not merely sound like the Book of Enoch. He names Enoch, calls his words prophecy, and closely quotes 1 Enoch 1:9. So why did most Christians eventually accept Jude as Scripture while rejecting 1 Enoch from the canon?
