About the Book

What happened to Christianity when it became intertwined with the power of the Roman Empire?

In Imperial Christianity, Wayne Lavender examines the transformation of Christianity following Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. The book contrasts the teachings and example of Jesus with the influence of political power, wealth, military strength, and institutional control.

Drawing from history, theology, political science, and sociology, Lavender explores the relationship between faith and power and challenges readers to consider what it means to follow Jesus today.

The book includes an eight-session group study guide for churches, small groups, and individual readers.
