{"product_id":"life-of-constantine","title":"Life of Constantine","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe life of Constantine was written by Eusebius of Caesarea (260 - 339 AD) in the 4th century in honour of Constantine the Great (272 - 337 AD). However, Eusebius died before he could finish the work. Nevertheless the book is considered a valuable work both for providing a semi-bibliographic account of Constantine from someone who knew him personally, and for providing a rare window into the religious practices of the early Christian church. The work also includes Eusebius' own concerns about differences of opinion in church doctrine. The work is considered a valuable primary source for understanding how Christianity first started to become the state religion under its, perhaps most famous Roman emperor, Constantine, who later would be declared a saint by both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The source text for this book is: \"Church history: Life of Constantine the Great; and Oration in Praise of Constantine,\" New York: Christian Literature Co.; Oxford: Parker, 1890; translated by Ernest Cushing Richardson (1860-1939); edited by Henry Wace (1836-1924) and Philip Schaff (1819-1893). This version of the work includes the original footnotes along with illustrations of Constantine on coins and in artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44231118684321,"sku":"9781716448843","price":44.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/m6dwwm-front-shortedge-384_e11ff214-6d21-4da7-aa7f-7b2282aba3e5.jpg?v=1714480687","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/life-of-constantine","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
