No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity, but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed, this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths. The vast record of Constantine's administr...

In this new edition of his classic work, Religion and the Rise of Western Culture, Christopher Dawson addresses two of the most pressing subjects of our day: the origin of Europe and the religious roots of Western culture. With the magisterial sweep of Toynbee, to whom he is often compared, Dawson tells here the tale of medieval Christendom. From the brave travels of sixth-century Irish monks to the grand synthesis of Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century, Dawson brilliantly sh...

Inspired by Gods Wisdom is not a book with a beginning, unfolding, and end. It is a book you can open at any page, and there you will find, spelled out, the wisdom and love we may recognize as coming from the spiritual one I call God. Often I have recommended to those who buy or consider this book that they open the pages randomly with a short prayer, believing that there is a message for them there for that day. And many tell me it works for them. Indeed, God has recommended I follow my o...
