Dr. Michael B. Simmons, associate professor in History, has had a paper peer reviewed and officially approved for publication in Studia Patristica, an international journal of Patristic theology published by Peeters Publishers, Leuven, Belgium. It will appear in the journal in 2010. Titled "Universalism in the Demonstratio evangelica of Eusebius of Caesarea," the paper analyzes this primary Greek text of Eusebius, the father of Church History, along with other Greek and Latin texts from Late Antiquity, and compares pagan and Christian notions of the salvation of the soul during the critical period when the Roman Empire began its transformation under the emperor Constantine. Simmons read the paper at the XIV International Conference on Patristics at the University of Oxford in August 2007.
