J﻿oin us for a Zoom talk with Dr. James Rietveld "The Controversy of Constantine the Great and Council of Nicaea" on Thursday, November 16, 8 p.m.P﻿ay What You Wish: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/725453449797Constantine the Great: There’s hardly a historical figure that brings about both so much controversy and so much confusion.An emperor with an impressive military and political career, Constantine strengthened, expanded and unified Rome, while making administrative, financial, social, and military reforms.Emperors were viewed as head of the pagan priesthood, yet Constantine expressed a tolerance for Christianity that would prove unpopular.Constantine's summoning of the famed Council of Nicaea resulted in the making of the Julian Calendar and the Bible, and new pronouncements regarding persecution, Arianism, etcStill, whenever a controversy erupts regarding the Roman Empire in relation to the Christian Church, you will find the name of this emperor filling the gap.Is this a fair assessment?What did Constantine actually do historically. What did he accomplish?Further still, was Constantine "pagan" or "Christian" during most of his rule?If not, what did he believe and how did he make political use of these associations?We will provide exact answers to these questions and perhaps uncover many more questions!!!This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."
