READ MORE ABOUT THIS COURSE

About this course:

The conversion of the emperor Constantine to Christianity is one of the most consequential but misunderstood events in Roman history. Scholars have struggled to reconstruct the circumstances of the conversion, questioned its sincerity, and even argued about its implications. In this course, we look at why we should take Constantine's conversion seriously as both a deeply personal individual experience and as one that changed the way Romans thought about the divine. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.
