Sinopsis
‘Constantine hardly deserves the title of Great which posterity has given him, either by his character or by his abilities. He was highly susceptible to flattery, and fell completely under the influence of any dominating personality who happened to be at his side … Still less does Constantine deserve the title of saint, which the Eastern Church has bestowed upon him. He was, it is true, according to his lights, a good man on the whole, though his political murders – particularly that of Licinius – shocked even contemporary opinion, and his execution of his wife and son was felt by many to be an inexpiable stain on his character…
To the other title which the Orthodox Church has bestowed upon him, “the Peer of the Apostles,” he has a better claim, for his career profoundly influenced the history of the Church and the future of Christianity … Constantine had no doubts about his imperial duty. It was his task to secure God’s favour on the empire by securing, by force if necessary, that his subjects worshipped God in a manner pleasing to Him.’
Originally published by Macmillan, 1948.

Taschenbuch / Paperback. Condición: Befriedigend. Auflage: Reprint. 223 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Akzeptabler Zustand, Einband stärker berieben, teilweise bestoßen, mit altem Preisetikett auf Buchdeckel / Acceptable condition, binding more heavily rubbed, partially scuffed, with old price label on cover. - Introduction The Early Historians of the Church had a habit which is very useful to posterity. Owing presumably to their reverence for the actual words of holy writ, they developed the habit of citing their authorities in full even when they were not inspired. Hence we possess a relatively large number of documents from the age of Constantineimperial constitutions and edicts, synodical letters of church councils, and letters written by bishops and, most interesting of all, by Constantine himself. Some of these documents are preserved in the works of contemporary authors: Lactantius, whose little pamphlet, On the Deaths of the Persecutors, is, despite its violent prejudice, an invaluable firsthand record of events from the accession of Diocletian to the death of Maximin; Athanasius, who many years as after the event wrote up the story of the ecclesiastical struggles of his youth in a series of polemical tracts, the most important of which is The Defence against the Arians; and, above all, Eusebius. To Eusebius we owe two historical works, his great Church History, the last three books of which give an eye-witness account of the Great Persecution, with a particularly valuable appendix giving full details for his own province of Palestine, and what is usually called his Life of Constantine, though it professes to be, and is, a long obituary or appreciation, bringing out its hero's achievements for Christianity.
