Eusebios (of Caesarea)

Japanese: エウセビオス[カエサレアの]（英語表記）Eusebios

A Christian author known as the "Father of Church History" from around 260 to 339. In Caesarea, Palestine, he became a disciple of Pamphilus, who taught the theology of Origen, and was indoctrinated with anti-Sabellian ideas. He became Bishop of Caesarea around 315. In the Arian controversy, he was initially favorable to Arius, but was surprised by the extreme teachings of Arius at the Council of Nicaea (325), and instead tried to resolve the situation as a moderate. Specifically, he presented the creed used at Caesarea and tried to conclude the council along those lines, but the anti-Arians made a major revision by inserting the word "homoousios (the same substance of the Father and the Son)."

260ころ‐339ころ
〈教会史の父〉と呼ばれるキリスト教著作家。パレスティナのカエサレアCaesareaで，オリゲネス神学を伝えるパンフィロスの弟子となり，反サベリウス主義の思想を教えこまれる。315年ころカエサレア主教。アリウス主義論争において，最初はアリウスに好意的であったが，ニカエア公会議(325)でアリウスの教説の極端さに驚き，むしろ穏健派として事態収拾に当たった。具体的にはカエサレアで用いられていた信条を提示，その線で公会議をまとめようとしたが，反アリウス派は〈ホモウシオス(父と子の同質)〉の語の挿入という重大な修正を加えた。
