Making of a Christian Empire
The work of the Christian scholar Lactantius provides an ideal lens through which to study how Rome became a Christian empire. Exploring Lactantius' use of theology, philosophy, and rhetorical techniques, Digeser perceives the Divine Institutes as a sophisticated proposal for a monotheistic state that intimately connected the religious policies of Diocletian and Constantine, both of whom used religion to fortify and unite the Roman Empire. Elizabeth DePalma Digeser shows how Lactantius' Divine Institutes--seditious in its time--responded to the emperor Diocletian's persecution and then became an important influence on Constantine the Great, Rome's first Christian emperor.The Making of a Christian Empire is the first full-length book to interpret the Divine Institutes as a historical source.
For Digeser, Lactantius' writings justify Constantine's own attitude of tolerance toward pagans
