Proof of the Gospel
Eusebius, The Proof of the Gospel (Demonstratio Evangelica)
Eusebius of Caesarea
Half of a very large argument. Prophecy, morality, miracles, and witnesses who gained nothing by lying — stacked until the pile is the point.

Why these numbers
The game's own explanation, as a reader sees it in the backpack.
The Proof of the Gospel was twenty books long. Ten survive, plus a scrap of the fifteenth — so you are holding roughly half of a very large work. Big, but with half of it missing: middling Stamina.
Eusebius does not make one argument, he stacks them — the faith of the patriarchs, the prophets fulfilled, Christ’s moral teaching, the miracles, and the apostles who had nothing to gain by lying. A case built of many cases contends hard.
Everyone has heard of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History. Almost nobody has read this one. Low Popularity — the Proof usually speaks late.
Cited for this book

Moves learned
By levelling up. A book that develops keeps what it knew and learns the rest on its new schedule.
