Meer over het boek

The narrative explores Constantine's rise to power from AD 305 to 337, highlighting his journey towards embracing Christianity. Central to the plot is the pivotal Council of Nicaea in 325, where Constantine asserts the belief that Christ is 'of one substance with God.' The latter part of the story focuses on his mother, Helena, guiding him toward understanding his need for redemption through Christ, addressing both his political and personal tragedies, including the loss of his son. This interplay of faith and power shapes the historical landscape of the era.
