Historical Summary:
“Constantine The Great” is an amazing story about one man who put his life on the line to save Christians from persecution.
By signing The Edict of Milan in A.D. 313 Constantine granted religious freedom to all Roman Citizens.
Constantine made it illegal for slaves to be killed.
He outlawed crucifixion, and he put a halt to men killing each other in the gladiatorial games.
He was that very rare leader who combined bureaucratic brilliance, military genius and compassion for those less fortunate than himself.
He united the Roman Empire during the great civil war of 324 and built churches throughout the Roman Empire.
He was the first Roman Emperor to become a Christian, and he was baptized before he died at the age of 65.
Christianity is the most popular religion in the world today, and Christianity owes a huge debt to the work of Constantine who many historians claim is responsible for bringing a barely known cult religion to a huge international presence in the world today.
