Background on Eusebius of Caesarea
In his own words on Philippians
- Philippians 2:6
[Paul] acknowledged Christ and no other to be the Son of God. The flesh that Christ assumed was called "the form of a slave" and "son of man." But as to that birth which, unknown to all, was from the Father and before all ages, he was Son of God.
ON THE THEOLOGY OF THE CHURCH 1.2
- Philippians 2:7
Read the record of his compassion. It pleased him, being the Word of God, to "take the form of a slave." So he willed to be joined to our common human condition. He took to himself the toils of the members who suffer. He made our human maladies his own. He suffered and toiled on our behalf. This is in accord with his great love of humankind.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE GOSPEL 10.1.22
- Philippians 2:9
That [saving sacrifice] which no human or angelic or divine power had yet endured he accepted for the sake of our salvation. Therefore upon him alone the Father has bestowed the name that is above every name, committing to him the judgment of all.
