Who he was
Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, known as the "father of church history": his History preserves many documents and fragments of lost authors. He took part in Nicaea (325) and sympathized with Arius in the early stages, so his orthodoxy is debated and he is not usually listed among the saints in the West.
