Remember when I
posted about "Constantinianism"? I vaguely do, so I won't blame you if you don't. Well, I have been enjoying (when not reading about Paul or writing about the Encratites) Peter Leithart's
Defending Constantine
. Leithart draws on an impressive array of evidence and scholarship in his sensitive treatment of Constantine. Let me humbly advise all who think Constantine was the worst thing to ever happen to the church to
read this book. I'm only about one third of the way in, but so far it is shaping up to be an excellent contribution.
