Fundamentally, the Constantinian view deeply identifies the Church and state, taking inspiration from the Roman Empire following the Edict of Milan.[1] Some elements of this identification are willingness by the church to use coercive power structures of the state and a tendency towards Christian triumphalism.[2]

Stanley Hauerwas argues against a Constantinian view, saying that it leads to a compromised form of Christian ethics, "[It] leads Christians to judge their ethical positions, not on the basis of what is faithful to our particular tradition, but rather on the basis of how much Christian ethics Caesar can be induced to swallow."[3]
John Howard Yoder and Karl Barth have been identified as an anti-Constantinian due to their shared "church-world" distinction.[4]
