We know that Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313 outlawed
paganism and made Christianity the official religion of the Roman
Empire manipulated the Council of Nicea in 325 exercised absolute
authority over the church, co-opting it for the aims of empire And
if Constantine the emperor were not problem enough, we all know
that Constantinianism has been very bad for the church. Or do we
know these things? Peter Leithart weighs these claims and finds
them wanting. And what's more, in focusing on these historical
mirages we have failed to notice the true significance of
Constantine and Rome baptized. For beneath the surface of this
contested story there emerges a deeper narrative of the end of
Roman sacrifice--a tectonic shift in the political theology of an
empire--and with far-reaching implications. In this probing and
informative book Peter Leithart examines the real Constantine,
weighs the charges against Constantinianism, and sets the terms for
a new conversation about this pivotal emperor and the Christendom
that emerged.
