Excerpt from The Progress of Religious Ideas, Through Successive Ages, Vol. 3 of 3
Whatever might have been the real origin of the story, the emperor caused a standard to be made in the form of a cross; and, according to tradition, it was an exact oop y of the one seen in his dream. The shaft was cased with gold, and it was surmounted by a golden crown, on which were inscribed a monogram, signifying the name of Christ. Beneath the crown was a small purple banner, and the bust of Constantine, which shared the homage paid by the soldiers to their consecrated standard, without necessarily bringing them under the charge of idolatry. This standard was called the Labarum, the meaning of which is now un known. It was for a long time carried at the head of the imperial army, intrusted to the care of fifty faithful guards; and a belief prevailed that no weapon could harm them While they were employed in guarding the sacred emblem.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and turbulent early years of Christianity as it transformed from a persecuted faith to one intertwined with the Roman Empire. The author takes us on a journey through the lives of key figures, including Constantine the Great, who witnessed the persecution of Christians and ultimately embraced the faith, culminating in his adoption of the cross as the symbol of his empire. The book explores the impact of this shift on both Christianity and Roman society. We see how the acceptance of Christianity led to the establishment of a distinct ecclesiastical power and the rise of a formal priesthood. The author also analyzes the internal conflicts that arose within the Christian community, highlighting the emergence of various sects and their passionate disputes over doctrine and practice. The book further examines the influence of early Christian thought on the social and moral landscape of the empire. It investigates the evolution of Christian practices, such as fasting and the veneration of saints, and their roots in earlier religious traditions. Through a detailed exploration of these early years, the book reveals the complex interplay of power, belief, and social change that shaped the foundation of Christianity as it became the dominant faith of the Roman Empire.
