Constantine and the conversion of Europe
Regarded by some as one of the best works ever written on the life of Constantine, this work remains one of A. H. M. Jones' most enduring titles. Jones manages not only to inform but to entertain us. Here is a work that does what few other scholars can. Constantine was a man of action, a man of strong desire. He was a man of ambition. But many men with ambition have come and gone, their names no longer remembered. It is as if they never existed. but the name of Constantine lives on. After 1700 years, he is still the topic of fierce debate. Was he a genuine convert or pragmatic opportunist? Was he a devil or a saint? What is not debated is his skill in war, his abilities as leader of the Empire and the fact that for better or worse, he drastically changed the face of the Western world, and through that the entire world, forever.
