This mystic revelation, as reported by Eusebius and other contemporaries, led to Constantine's acceptance and then devoted use of Christianity to consolidate his Empire. In ' The Miracle of the Flaming Cross', Frank G. Slaughter has re-created all the moving and colorful events of Constantine's life, in the turbulent Roman world of the 3rd and 4th centuries..."At this crucial point in the history of Christianity, a Roman Emperor arose who gave paganism the death blow. He was Constantine the Great..." At first giving Christianity equal status with paganism, Constantine was able -- for a time -- to constrain not only rebellious military rivals but also the Christian bishops who were fighting among themselves, and at Nicaea he established what was probably the first ecumenical council.Ref#: 060024Subject: General FictionVisit our eBay store for thousands more Books, Music, Movies & MoreSign Up for our store newsletter here!
