1930. This book is a description of the Christian revolution, of its causes and some, at any rate, of its results. Not all revolutions are equally successful. But the Caesarian and Constantinian had results which affected the whole of western civilization from that day to this. Christianity did not make the world safe for merely itself by singing hymns and distributing tracts to the heathen. By making himself the champion of the church, he won an empire for himself and his sons, and immortal fame for his name.
