| Summary: | With commendable speed the second volume of Socrates, containing books 2 and 3, follows on the first, reviewed in JTS, ns 56 (2005), pp. 687–8. The principles and high quality are the same in this volume as in the first. Socrates devotes the longer book 2 to the reign of Constantius, and 3 to Julian and Jovian. By following Athanasius closely he fixed the terminology which saw all ecclesiastical opposition to Athanasius as an Arian conspiracy, a view which has largely prevailed from Socrates’ immediate followers, Sozomen and Theodoret, until the late twentieth century. This is duly observed in the short introduction and the notes. |
