Anotace knihy

Before Constantine became the ruler of the Roman world, he was a young soldier watching Christians die for a King he could not see.

Rome demanded only a little incense, a few words, a simple gesture of loyalty to Caesar. Yet some Christians refused-even when refusal meant imprisonment, torture, or death. Constantine could understand courage on a battlefield. What he could not understand was why frightened men and women would die rather than deny Jesus Christ.

That question follows him through a changing empire.

CONSTANTINE: The King Above Augustus is a cinematic historical novel that follows Constantine from the Great Persecution to the struggle for Rome, the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the legalization of Christianity, the conflicts within the early church, the Council of Nicaea, the founding of Constantinople, and finally the waters of baptism.

But this is not simply the story of an emperor.

It is the story of a man learning the limits of imperial power.

Constantine can command armies, defeat rivals, issue laws, summon bishops, and build a new capital. He can end persecution, restore confiscated property, and protect Christians throughout the empire. But he cannot command faith. He cannot make Christians agree. And he cannot place Caesar above Christ.

Along the way, Scripture begins to challenge everything Rome taught him about power. Through the stories of Moses, David, Gideon, Peter, and Paul, Constantine encounters another understanding of kingship-one in which even the greatest earthly ruler remains under authority.

Blending documented historical events with fictionalized conversations and intimate family relationships, ZION TANGEL brings the fourth-century Roman world to life through battlefields, palace corridors, family dinners, church disputes, friendship, humor, loss, and faith.

The historical Constantine remains complicated: emperor, soldier, politician, husband, father, victor, and seeker. This novel does not turn him into a flawless saint. Instead, it follows the question that gradually becomes impossible for him to escape.

Christians had once been ordered to bow before Caesar.

But if Christ truly is King, then another question remains:

To whom does Caesar bow?

Human kingdoms rise and fall.

There is still a King above Augustus.
