Socrates and Sozomen’s Church History in Comparative Perspective

Year 2022, Issue: 3, 287 - 317, 26.12.2022

Abstract

Beginning in the 4th century with Eusebius of Caesarea and continued by writers such as Socrates, Sozomenus and Theodoretus, church historiography is very important in terms of historiography. The most important aim of church historians is to tell the story of Christianity, which has survived despite being suppressed and persecuted many times since its first emergence. The Christians, who were exposed to various persecutions until the beginning of the 4th century, experienced great relief with the conversion of Constantine the Great to this religion. After this date, the Christians, who found a relatively free environment, focused more on the nature of Jesus and gathered many councils to solve problems within the scope of theology and the hierarchy of the churches. Church History works, which contain these theological and hierarchical debates, need to be carefully examined in order to understand the conflicts. In addition, church historians, who were too concerned about secular events, reflected the turbulences of the Late Roman Empire in their works. At this point, the works of church historians, who sometimes refer to the Germans and from time to time to regions such as Armenia and Persia in the more eastern parts, shed light on political events.

Karşılaştırmalı Olarak Socrates ve Sozomenus’un Kilise Tarihi Eserleri

Year 2022, Issue: 3, 287 - 317, 26.12.2022

Abstract

4. yüzyılda Ceasarealı Eusebius ile başlayan ve Socrates, Sozomenus, Theodoretus gibi yazarlar tarafından devam ettirilen kilise tarihçiliği, tarih yazımı açısından oldukça önemlidir. Kilise tarihçilerinin en önemli amacı ilk ortaya çıktığı andan itibaren baskı altında tutulmasına ve birçok kez kovuşturmaya uğramasına rağmen ayakta kalmayı başaran Hıristiyanlığın hikayesini anlatmaktır. Nitekim 4. yüzyıl başlarına kadar çeşitli zulümlere maruz kalan Hıristiyanlar, Büyük Constantinus’un bu dine ihtida etmesiyle birlikte büyük bir rahatlama yaşamışlardır. Bu tarihten sonra görece daha özgür bir ortam bulan Hıristiyanlar, İsa’nın tabiatı üzerine daha çok eğilmiş, teoloji ve kiliselerin hiyerarşisi kapsamındaki sorunları çözmek için birçok konsil toplamışlardır. Nitekim bu teolojik ve hiyerarşik tartışmaları içeren Kilise Tarihi eserlerinin, ihtilafların anlaşılması açısından dikkatli bir şekilde incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bunun yanında seküler olaylara da fazlasıyla eğilen kilise tarihçileri Geç Roma İmparatorluğu’nun yaşadığı çalkantıları da eserlerine yansıtmışlardır. Bu noktada zaman zaman Germenlere zaman zaman da daha doğu bölümlerde yer alan Armenia ve Persia gibi bölgelere değinen kilise tarihçilerinin eserleri siyasi olaylara da ışık tutmaktadır.
