About this person
Socrates of Constantinople, also known as Socrates Scholasticus, lived around 380 and wrote past 439. He produced the *Historia Ecclesiastica*, a church history spanning 305 to 439 - the era when Christianity moved from underground sect to imperial apparatus. He wrote alongside contemporaries Sozomen and Theodoret, all three racing to make sense of the same turbulent centuries. His account ends in 439, and then the trail goes cold.
