The Rise of Christianity under Emperor Constantine:
In 313 CE, Emperor Constantine won a major battle against his rival, Maxentius. He attributed this victory to the divine inspiration of Jesus.
He made Christianity a legal religion, ending almost 300 years of oppression and persecution of Christians in the Roman empire.
Constantine declared himself a Christian after defeating all his rivals.
He shifted the capital of the empire from Rome to Constantinople (the site of the ancient city of Byzantium), which endured as the Christian capital for 1,000 years.
Values and Application (SDG Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities):
Jesus taught that we should mould ourselves in the image of a compassionate, loving, and forgiving God.
He instructed his followers to love their neighbours as themselves, help the needy, and extend love and forgiveness to the poor, sinners, and even their enemies.
These values promote the reduction of inequalities by encouraging people to treat everyone—regardless of their social standing, wealth, or past actions—with dignity, respect, and compassion. Applying these teachings helps eliminate societal divisions, support the marginalized, and foster a peaceful, cooperative society.
