Book excerpt: Peter Leithart weighs what we've been taught about Constantine and claims that in focusing on these historical mirages we have failed to notice the true significance of Constantine and Rome baptized. He reveals how beneath the surface of this contested story there lies a deeper narrative--a tectonic shift in the political theology of an empire--with far-reaching implications.
Book Synopsis The Christianity of Constantine the Great by : Thomas George Elliott
Download or read book The Christianity of Constantine the Great written by Thomas George Elliott and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text assumes that Eusebius' story of Constantine's conversion was fiction or a mistake, based upon the Emperor's own story of how God told him to make his army's standard. This study suggests that Constantine's Christianity was of more normal and earlier origins than the miracle of AD 312.
Download or read book Constantine written by Paul Stephenson and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “knowledgeable account” of the emperor who brought Christianity to Rome “provides valuable insight into Constantine’s era” (Kirkus Reviews). “By this sign conquer.” So began the reign of Constantine. In 312 A.D. a cross appeared in the sky above his army as he marched on Rome. In answer, Constantine bade his soldiers to inscribe the cross on their shield, and so fortified, they drove their rivals into the Tiber and claimed Rome for themselves. Constantine led Christianity and its adherents out of the shadow of persecution. He united the western and eastern halves of the Roman Empire, raising a new city center in the east. When barbarian hordes consumed Rome itself, Constantinople remained as a beacon of Roman Christianity. Constantine is a fascinating survey of the life and enduring legacy of perhaps the greatest and most unjustly ignored of the Roman emperors—written by a richly gifted historian. Paul Stephenson offers a nuanced and deeply satisfying account of a man whose cultural and spiritual renewal of the Roman Empire gave birth to the idea of a unified Christian Europe underpinned by a commitment to religious tolerance. “Successfully combines historical documents, examples of Roman art, sculpture, and coinage with the lessons of geopolitics to produce a complex biography of the Emperor Constantine.” —Publishers Weekly
Book Synopsis Eusebius' Life of Constantine by : Eusebius
Download or read book Eusebius' Life of Constantine written by Eusebius and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-09-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eusebius' Life of Constantine is the most important single record of Constantine, the emperor who turned the Roman Empire from prosecuting the Church to supporting it, with huge and lasting consequences for Europe and Christianity. The only English version previously available is based on a seventeenth-century Greek edition, but two new critical editions produced this century make a new English version necessary. The authors of this edition present the results of the recent scholarly debate, as well as their own researches so as to clarify the significance of Eusebius' work and introduce the student to the text and its interpretation, thus opening up the contentious issues. At face value much of what Eusebius wrote is false. This book shows how, once his partisan interpretations and rhetoric are properly understood, both Eusebius' text and the documents it contains give vital historical insights.

Book Synopsis Constantine and Rome by : R. Ross Holloway
Download or read book Constantine and Rome written by R. Ross Holloway and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantine the Great (285–337) played a crucial role in mediating between the pagan, imperial past of the city of Rome, which he conquered in 312, and its future as a Christian capital. In this learned and highly readable book, R. Ross Holloway examines Constantine’s remarkable building program in Rome. Holloway begins by examining the Christian Church in the period before the Peace of 313, when Constantine and his co-emperor Licinius ended the persecution of the Christians. He then focuses on the structure, style, and significance of important monuments: the Arch of Constantine and the two great Christian basilicas, St. John’s in the Lateran and St. Peter’s, as well as the imperial mausoleum at Tor Pignatara. In a final chapter Holloway advances a new interpretation of the archaeology of the Tomb of St. Peter beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica. The tomb, he concludes, was not the original resting place of the remains venerated as those of the Apostle but was created only in 251 by Pope Cornelius. Drawing on the most up-to-date archaeological evidence, he describes a cityscape that was at once Christian and pagan, mirroring the personality of its ruler.

Book Synopsis Constantine the Great by : Shpetim Lezi
Download or read book Constantine the Great written by Shpetim Lezi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantine, surnamed "the Great" was one of the greatest emperors of the Roman Empire, one of the greatest Illyrians who ever lived. He was the oldest son of Emperor Constantius Chlorus and was born in 272 at Naissus of Moesia in eastern Illyricum. He fought beside his father who was killed at the fatel battle of York. Constantine became a Caesar (306) then an augustus (308). It was on his way to the crucial battle of Rome's Milvian Bridge that he saw a vision of a luminous cross in the sky and the words "There's Victory in This Sign", from which he dated his conversion to Christianity in 312. Fighting against the one remaining emperor, Licinius, he gained control of Illyricum, Macedonia, and Achaia (314). In 324, he remained the sole emperor of the Roman Empire. Early in his career, he issued his famous Edict to stop the persecution of Christians initially and then to favour Christianity. In 325, he convened the Christian Council of Nicea attended by a great number of bishops of the Roman Empire. Possibly to symbolize his break with Rome's pagan past, Constantine left Rome in 326. He removed the seat of Empire to Byzantium which he renamed Constantinople after himself, dedicating it in 330s. In his new organization of the empire, Illyricum formed one of the great provinces. Constantine was baptized by the church historian Eusebius shortly before his death in 337. His three sons Constantine, Constantius, and Constans succeeded their father, the latter inheriting Illyricum, Italy, and Africa.
