Prof. Drake joins us to discuss Constantine the Great, his conversion to Christianity, his 'vision of the cross', his role as Pontifex Maximus, calling the Council of Nicaea with his desire for consensus, and the intolerance of Christian bishops of whom Constantine wrote: 'do nothing but that which encouraged discord and hatred and, to speak frankly, which leads to the destruction of the human race.'
