‘Patrick tells the story of the growth of the early Christian community. Eschewing speculation, he provides a clear narrative interspersed with pithy accounts of the most significant Christian teachers in the period which culminated in the advent of the first Christian Emperor, Constantine.
It is a story that is particularly relevant at a time when Christendom is a fading memory and the Christian community is struggling to discover where the Spirit is leading in a global culture.’

Richard Chartres
Former Bishop of London

Shaping the World to Come

The period covered by this book (ad 381–451) is the first in which the church
can be said to have exercised a dominant role in political history. For some it is
the period in which the church lost its innocence. Yet without the innovations
of Constantine and his successors, it is hard for us to imagine what Christianity
might have been. Without this time of consolidation and increasing conformity,
Europe would not have existed as we now know it — nor, for that matter, would
Islam.
