Defending Constantine: The Twilight of an Empire and the Dawn of Christendom is a 2010 book by Peter Leithart which examines Constantine the Great and Christianity. Leithart argues that Constantine was a real Christian, and takes issue with John Howard Yoder's view on Constantinianism, arguing that there was no Constantinian shift.[1][2]
