Defending Constantine


Defending Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn of Christendom is a 2010 book by Peter Leithart which examines Constantine the Great and Christianity. Leithart argues that Constantine was a real Christian, and takes issue with John [Howard Yoder]'s view on Constantinianism, arguing that there was no Constantinian shift.
Defending Constantine provoked a book-length response: Constantine Revisited: Leithart, Yoder, and the Constantinian Debate, edited by John D. Roth.
