Book Overview

Ecclesiastical History is a book written by Sozomen, a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century.

It covers the major events, figures, and controversies of the church during this time, including the rise of Christianity, the persecution of Christians under the Roman Empire, the Council of Nicaea, and the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire and beyond.
