Summary/Abstract: The Alexandrian school through the method of allegorical interpretation of the Holy Scriptures brought a real benefit to Eusebius, whose ground was beaten in order to realize his works. By using Clement of Alexandria's Stromatics in Evangelical Preparation, Eusebius increased his demonstration of doctrines, theses, ideas, solutions. Origen is found in the theological-school space as a practicing Christian, he being the personality that marked Eusebius the most. His writings provided solid grounding in most theories and controversies about true faith. Allegorically interpreting biblical teachings, Origen set out to find the divine and rational basis of faith. Eusebius greatly admired and cherished him, and that is why Origenist ideas found a place in his thinking. The present study aims to demonstrate how the ideas, theses, Alexandrian thinking found their way in the exceptional personality of the great historian.
