Church History for Chumps
We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

Church History for Chumps
The Conversion of Constantine: Faithful or Fraud?
"I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."
-Constantine, probably
The 4th century has begun to dawn. The Christian church is in hot water. The new system of tetrarchy established by Diocletian has already started to teeter, and Rome looks to fall back into the chaos of the prior century.
But in the West, stands a man. A man who, unknown to anyone at this point, would become one of the single most controversial figures in church history. His name was Constantine. He would do something a Roman Emperor had never done. He would profess Christ as Lord.
Things are about to get interesting.
Thanks for listening, gang!
