NPNF2-02. Socrates and Sozomen us Ecc lesiastical Histories Author(s): Socrates Scholasticus Schaff, Philip (1819-1893) (Editor) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: With over twenty volumes, the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a momentous achievement. Originally gathered by Philip Schaff, the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a collection of writings by classical and medieval Christian theologians.The purpose of such a collection is to make their writings readily available. The entire work is divided into two series, each with fourteen volumes. The second series fo- cuses on a variety of important Church Fathers, ranging from the fourth century to the eighth century.This volume contains the work of Sozomenus and Socrates--two fifth century Christian historians. They attempted to continue to the work of Eusebius, namely, providing a history of the Christian church. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers are compre- hensive in scope, and provide keen translations of instructive and illuminating texts from some of the great theologians of the Christian church.These spiritually enlightening texts have aided Christians for over a thousand years, and remain in- structive and fruitful even today!
