Opis

This book provides a synoptic review of Constantine's relation to all the cultic and theological traditions of the Empire during the period from his seizure of power in the west in 306 cE to the end of his reign as autocrat of both east and west in 337 cE.

Recenzje

In this rich study, Edwards offers a holistic picture of the age of Constantine, in which the religious, theological, and philosophical aspects stand out most conspicuously... this is a thorough, valuable, and enjoyable analysis, which will be in many ways an inspiration to scholars in ancient religions, early Christian studies, patristic theology, Roman history, and history of ancient philosophy.
