Constantine: Early Church Fathers and the Early Church
When one man's vision changed the course of civilization forever
On October 28, 312 CE, Constantine stood at the Milvian Bridge facing a choice that would reshape the Western world. The vision he claimed that day - a blazing cross with the words "In this sign, conquer" - launched the most profound religious revolution in human history.
This meticulously researched biography chronicles how a Roman general's battlefield conversion transformed an empire that had persecuted Christians for three centuries into the foundation of European Christendom. From the Edict of Milan in 313 CE to the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, witness how Constantine forged a new relationship between earthly power and heavenly authority that influenced kings and emperors for over a thousand years.
What you'll discover:
Drawing on ancient sources from Eusebius and Lactantius to Ammianus Marcellinus, plus cutting-edge scholarship from Mary Beard, Tom Holland, and Adrian Goldsworthy, this compelling narrative reveals how Constantine's gamble created the intellectual foundations for medieval Europe, the Byzantine Empire, and the concept of divine monarchy that shaped Western civilization.
Perfect for readers of Anthony Everitt's imperial biographies and anyone fascinated by the intersection of religion and power, this book explains why Constantine's conversion ranks among the most consequential decisions in human history.
